Question

Write a nuclear equation for the formation of iron-54 through fusion

Answer 1

Fe + heat ----> Fe_54 + + neutrons

Answer 2

Answer:
`_(24)^(50)\textrm{Cr}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _(26)^(56)\textrm{Fe}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fusion : It is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Nuclear fission : It is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

The nuclear fusion reaction for the formation of iron-54 involves fusion of chromium with a alpha particle to produce iron.

The balanced nuclear reaction will be:

`_(24)^(50)\textrm{Cr}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _(26)^(56)\textrm{Fe}`
