nuclear reactions can be written out in equation form with information about the nuclei that take place in the fusion reaction and the nuclei that are produced. in two sentences explain how you would identify the reaction as fusion, and give two different criteria
One way to identify a fusion reaction is by looking for a decrease in the atomic number of the nuclei involved, indicating the merging of smaller nuclei into a larger one. Another criterion is to check for an increase in the energy of the reaction products, as fusion reactions release a significant amount of energy.
