Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, `_(1)^(2)H` , known as deuteron and denoted by `D`, can be thought of as a candidate for fusion rector . The `D-D` reaction is `_(1)^(2) H + _(1)^(2) H rarr _(2)^(1) He + n+` energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen of `_(1)^(2) H` is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of `_1^2H` nuclei and electrons is known as plasma . The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually , the temperature in the reactor core are too high and no material will can be used to confine the to plasma for a time `t_(0)` before the particles fly away from the core. If `n` is the density (number volume ) of deuterons , the product` nt_(0) `is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria , a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater then `5 xx 10^(14) s//cm^(2)` it may be helpfull to use the following boltzmann constant `lambda = 8.6 xx 10^(-5)eV//k, (e^(2))/(4 pi s_(0)) = 1.44 xx 10^(-9) eVm` In the core of nucleus fusion reactor , the gas become plasma because ofA. strone nuclear force acting between the deuteronsB. Coulomb force acting between the deutronsC. Coulomb force acting between deutron electron pairsD. the high temperature maintained inside the reactor core

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Due to the high temperature developed as a result of collision & fusion causes the core of fusion reactor to plasma.
