Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element is called

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,

A) beryllium

B) carbon

C) deuterium

D) helium

Image is attached below

The larger element formed by the nuclear fusion of two isotopes of hydrogen is Helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion reactions are defined as the reaction in which, two or more lighter atoms combine to form a heavier atom. The number of atoms formed in this reaction decreases from the given atoms.

The nuclear fusion equation for the reaction of H-2 and H-3 isotope is:

In a nuclear reaction, total atomic number and total mass number remains the same

Hence, the larger element formed by the nuclear fusion of two isotopes of hydrogen is Helium.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
