Answer:
= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
During nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei of elements combine to form heavy nucleus and also energy is released;
During the process of hydrogen fusion a nucleus of deuterium is formed from two protons with emission of a neutrino.
In this case deuterium fuses with hydrogen nuclei to form helium-3 and also release energy.
That is;
2/1 H + 1/1 H = 3/1 He + energy
