Question

In the early universe and in stars, deuterium nuclei are produced from the combination of one proton and one neutron, with the release of a gamma ray. What is the charge on a deuterium nucleus in units of qe = 1.6*10-19 C?

Answer 1

Electric charge of a deuterium nuclei is
`1 q_e`.

Step-by-step explanation:

As its nuclei is composed of one proton, with charge
`1 q_e`, and a neutron, with cero charge; by adding them we have a total
`1 q_e` charge; hence that's the answer.
