Which outcome occurs when high-energy gamma rays bombard deuterium?

💡 Explanation

Photodisintegration occurs, because gamma rays supply enough energy to overcome the strong nuclear force binding nucleons; therefore, the deuterium nucleus splits into a proton and neutron, rather than initiating fusion.
