Consider the following as a possible nuclear reaction
1H2 + 1H2 → 2He4
Given the energy per nucleon of the 1H2 and 2He4 nuclei as 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively, choose the correct statement:1
The reaction is not possible
2
The reaction can occur if 1H2 nuclei are given a total of 23.6 MeV energy
3
The reaction occurs with a release of 25.8 MeV energy
4
The reaction occurs with a release of 23.6 MeV energy
