Nuclei

Question:

Why the Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature among the nuclei, though these experience repulsion between them:

Options:

atoms get ionised at high temperatures

Molecule breakup at high temperate

Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei

Nuclei break at high temperature and is independent of repulsion between nuclei at this is temperature

Correct Answer:

Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei
