Question
how can you tell from looking at a nuclear reaction that fusion has taken place? (1 point)
the total number of protons and neutrons will increase.
the nucleus with the largest mass will be on the left side of the equation.
the total number of protons and neutrons will remain constant.
the nucleus with the largest mass number will be on the right side of the equation.
remaining attempts : 3
In nuclear fusion, two or more light - nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. The mass number (sum of protons and neutrons) of the product nucleus is larger than the mass numbers of the reactant nuclei. So, the nucleus with the largest mass number will be on the right side of the equation.
