Deuterium and Tritium

Level 1

The nuclear reaction formula for a nuclear fusion between a deuterium and a tritium can be expressed as follows: 1 2 H + 1 3 H 2 4 He + [ A ] + energy . _{1}^{2}\textrm{H} + _{1}^{3}\textrm{H} \to _{2}^{4}\textrm{He} + [A] + \text{energy}. Which of the following statements is correct about this nuclear reaction?

a) 1 2 H _{1}^{2}\textrm{H} and 1 3 H _{1}^{3}\textrm{H} have the same number of neutrons.

b) Particle [A] has no net electron charge.

c) The energy release is due to mass defect.

a) b) and c) a) and c) a) and b)
