Question

Energy generation in stars is mainly due to(a) Chemical reactions(b) Fission of heavy nuclei(c) Fusion of light nuclei(d) Fusion of heavy nuclei

Answer 1

Option C is correct.

Fusion of light nuclei.

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) Fusion of light nuclei is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stars are made up of plasma.

Stars shine and for the shine they need to be hot.

There are a number of chemical reactions undergoing in a star.

There is a collision of chemcals inside the star.

This is how heat is created.

When the core becomes enough hot, nuclear fusion reactions take place.

Basically, here, two hydrogen atom combines and a hydrogen atom is formed.

This is fusion reaction.

Hence, (c) Fusion of light nuclei is the correct answer.
