Write a balanced fusion reaction that uses lithium-6 as a reactant. You may have additional reactants and as many products as you need to balance the equation. Your product need not be stable.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Balanced fusion reaction that uses lithium-6 as a reactant

When neutron( ₀n¹) bombardment occurs on Lithium-6 (₃Li⁶) ,then Helium-4( ₂He⁴) and tritium (H³) results in the product side with the energy 4.8 MeV and the reaction takes place as following way.

1) ₃Li⁶ + ₀n¹-------> ₂He⁴ + H³ + 4.8 Mev
