How is nuclear energy in stars?
Stars obtain energy through the majority of their lives by the process of thermonuclear fusion of the nuclei of light elements to produce nuclei of heavier elements. Initially the processes fuses hydrogen nuclei, producing helium nuclei (similar to what hydrogen bombs do), but the process ceases when it produces nickel and iron nuclei at which point the star begins dying as it has run out of nuclear fuel.
What is the combining of two small nuclei to produce heat and one larger nuclei called?
Nuclear fusion
What is the simplest form of fusion that occurs in stars?
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
How has basic knowledge about atomic nuclei been used in technology?
Knowledge about atomic nuclei has been used to produce energy.
What do your suprachiasmatic nuclei help you to detect?
light
What is The combining of light nuclei is called?
fusion
Who discovered the protonsneutrons and electrons?
SEANEARLDAHL M. ROBLES WITH HIS WIFE NERI AND JULIA
Alpha particles ejected from the nucleus travel at the speed of light?
No. Alpha particles are helium nuclei; such nuclei have a mass, and can therefore NOT travel at the speed of light.
What is the combining of light weight nuclei into heavier nuclei that gives off energy that fuels the Sun?
fusion
How many nuclei will 46 chromosomes produce?
One in each cell.
Is Fusion a process in which existing nuclei combine to make new nuclei?
Yes. In nuclear fusion, experiments are trying to produce fusion of nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The product will be nuclei of helium plus released energy.
What are the number of protonsneutrons and electrons in selenium?
protons=5 neutrons=10 electrons = 34
