### Understanding Potential Energy Changes in Fusion Reactions**Question 4:** Consider the following fusion nuclear reaction: \[ \text{n + p + p} \rightarrow \prescript{3}{}{\text{He}} \]What happens to the different types of potential energies of this system as a result of the reaction (i.e., the electrical potential energy and the strong nuclear potential energy)? The atomic mass of \( \prescript{3}{}{\text{He}} \) is 3.016029 u.a. The electrical potential energy and the strong nuclear potential energy both increase. b. The electrical potential energy increases and the strong nuclear potential energy decreases. c. The electrical potential energy increases and the strong nuclear potential energy remains the same. d. The electrical potential energy decreases and the strong nuclear potential energy increases. e. The electrical potential energy and the strong nuclear potential energy both decrease. ---### Explanation:To understand the energy changes during a fusion reaction, it's essential to know how electrical and strong nuclear forces interact within atomic nuclei. 1. **Electrical Potential Energy:** This energy arises due to the electrostatic forces between charged particles. In atomic nuclei, protons repel each other due to their positive charges.2. **Strong Nuclear Potential Energy:** This energy is associated with the strong nuclear force, which is the force that holds protons and neutrons together within the nucleus. It is a very strong attractive force that works at very short distances.During the fusion process described:\[ \text{n + p + p} \rightarrow \prescript{3}{}{\text{He}} \]- **Electrical Potential Energy** will generally increase because more protons are brought close together, which increases repulsive electrostatic forces.- **Strong Nuclear Potential Energy** typically becomes more negative as nucleons (protons and neutrons) bind more tightly within the resulting helium nucleus, signifying a release of energy due to stronger binding forces.From the options given, you can decide which scenario aligns with the nature of these forces during fusion.
