Physics · Nuclei
Nuclear fusion processes, like combining two deuterons to form a helium nucleus, are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressures. The primary reason for this is that:
- 1the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other.
- 2the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fusion can take place.
- 3nuclei are positively charged and experience strong electrostatic repulsion at short distances.✓
- 4nuclear forces have short range.
Correct answer
nuclei are positively charged and experience strong electrostatic repulsion at short distances.
