A nuclear reaction occurs where a nucleus \(X\) breaks up into two separated nuclei \(Y\) and \(Z\text:~~~~X\longrightarrow Y+Z\)
Let, the nuclear radii of \(X,Y,Z\) be \(r_{_X},r_{_Y},r_{_Z}.\) Then, which of the following, is (nearly) correct?
1. \(r_{_X}=r_{_Y}+r_{_Z}\) 2. \(\Large\frac{1}{r_{_X}}=\frac{1}{r_{_Y}}+\frac{1}{r_{_Z}}\)
3. \(r_{_X}=|r_{_Y}-r_{_Z}|\) 4. \(r_{_X}^3=r^3_{_Y}+r^3_{_Z}\)

A nuclear reaction occurring in the sun leading to the production of energy is being represented as:    \(4~^1_1\mathrm{H}~\longrightarrow~^4_2\mathrm{He}+\text{energy},\) with the symbols representing nuclei. What is the primary objection to this reaction?
1. Non-conservation of mass
2. Non-conservation of charge
3. Repulsion between protons
4. Larger size of \(\mathrm{He}\text-\)nucleus compared to the proton
