Concept explainers
The new element produced by the fusion of the oxygen and hydrogen.
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 oxygen is 8, and the mass number is 16. The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, and the mass number is 2.
The new nucleus results from the fusion of oxygen and hydrogen are fluorine. The atomic number of fluorine is the same as the sum of atomic numbers of oxygen and hydrogen is 9.
Conclusion:
Thus, the new nucleus results from the fusion of oxygen and hydrogen are Fluorine.
