the fusion reactions are
(you may select more than one answer)
select one or more:

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is defined as the reaction where two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.

• Reaction 4: Two hydrogen isotopes (light nuclei) fuse into a heavier helium nucleus.
• Reaction 6: A beryllium nucleus and a helium nucleus (both light) combine to form a heavier carbon nucleus.

All other reactions are either beta decay (1,5), alpha decay (2,8), or nuclear fission (3,7), where heavy nuclei split into lighter ones.

Answer:

1. $^1_1H + ^2_1H

ightarrow ^3_2He$, 6. $^8_4Be + ^4_2He
ightarrow^{12}_6C$
