Answer:

This nucleus then acquires one electron to become electrically neutral.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion :It is nuclear reaction which two or more than smaller nuclei combines together to form heavy nuclear.

A neutron combines with proton in order to make heavy electron that is fusion reaction is taking place.


^(1)\textrm{n}+^(1)_(1)\textrm{H}\rightarrow ^(2)_1\textrm{H}+

The overall charge in the nucleus will be +1.And in order to neutralize this positive charge the nucleus will acquire single electron to become electrically neutral.
