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
