Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. the nucleus of a deuterium atom consists of one proton and one neutron. when two deuterium nuclei fuse, helium-3 is formed, and a neutron is emitted. give the equation that illustrates this process?

Explanation:

Remember that the atomic number of an element is the number of protons and the mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons.

1) Deuterium representation:

2) Helium-3 representation:

3) Neutron representation

4) Nuclear equation:

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.
