Concept explainers
The new element produced by the fusion of the copper and zinc.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Nuclear fusion is the process of formation of the new element by the combination of two elements. The nucleus of the new element is heavier than each element.
The atomic number of the cooper is 29, and the mass number is 63. The atomic number of zinc is 30, and the mass number is 65.
The new nucleus results from the fusion of copper and zinc are praseodymium. The atomic number of praseodymium is the same as the sum of atomic numbers of copper and zinc is 59, and the mass number is 140.
Conclusion:
Thus, the new nucleus results from the fusion of copper and zinc are Praseodymium.
