Detailed Solution

Element A is suitable for hydrogen bombs with mass number

2

and element B with a mass number

235

is suitable for nuclear reactors.
The process in nuclear reactors is called nuclear fission, where the heavy nucleus of element B splits into two lighter nuclei and releases a large amount of energy produced in nuclear power plants.
Hydrogen bomb produces enormous amounts of energy caused by the nuclear fusion reaction. In a nuclear fusion reaction, elements with small masses combine to form a single heavy nucleus and release enormous energy. Hence element A with mass number
