To determine: The element that would be produced when one oxygen and one hydrogen atom were fused.
Answer:
The element that would be produced when one oxygen and one hydrogen atom were fused is fluorine.
Explanation:
A hydrogen atom contains a single proton, and an oxygen atom contains eight protons. When they combine at the nuclear level, the element produced by them has nine number of protons.
The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number, and in the modern periodic table, the atomic number of fluorine is nine. So, the element that is formed on fusing is fluorine.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the element that would be produced when one oxygen and one hydrogen atom were fused is fluorine.
