Afusion reaction takes place between carbon and another element. neutrons are released, and a different element is formed. the different element is
a) lighter than helium. b)heavier than helium. c)the same weight as helium. d)dependent on the element that reacted with carbon.

D) dependent on the element that reacted with carbon.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion involves the combination of small atomic nuclei to form larger ones. This combination or fusing of nuclei is always accompanied by the release of large amount of energy.

The fusion product depends on the combining elements that fuses together. As we would have it, the fusion results in the formation of a heavier nuclei. Therefore, the combination of the Carbon and the other element would yield another nuclei that is heavier.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
