Question

There is a typo in one of the formulas below. Explain and correct the mistake

NUCLEAR PHYSICS APPLICATIONS masses of the original nuclei, a loss of mass occurs, accompanied by a release of energy. The following are examples of such energy-liberating fusion reac- tions occuring in the Sun: (14.10) This second reaction is followed by one of the following reactions:

Answer 1

Nuclear physics applications masses of the original nuclei, a loss of mass occurs accompanied by a release of energy the following are examples of each such energy - liberating fusion reaction in the sun 1^1_H + 1^1_H rightarrow 2^1_H + 0^1_e^+ + v 1^1_H + 2^1_H rightarrow 3^2_He + y this second is followed by one of the following reactions 1^1_H + 3^2_H rightarrow 4^2_He + 0^1_e^+ + v 3^2_He + 3^2_He rightarrow 4^2_He + 1^1_H + 1^1_H The32He created in the previous reaction also reacts with11H. Here it is shown as32H, which is wrong as Hydrogen does not have 2 protons i.e. atomic number 2. Helium does

The ³₂He created in the previous reaction also reacts with ¹₁H. Here it is shown as ³₂H, which is wrong as Hydrogen does not have 2 protons i.e. atomic number 2. Helium does
