Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
In Nuclear fusion, two light nuclei combine to produce a heavier and more stable nucleus, which is the opposite of nuclear fission. Mainly isotopes of Hydrogen can undergo nuclear fusion, which is light. For the fusion process to occur, the initial temperature and pressure of lighter nuclei must be extremely high. Since barium is a comparatively heavier element, it does not undergo a nuclear fusion reaction.
The correct statement would be that barium can’t undergo a nuclear fusion reaction.
