What else can I help you with?
What do you call a smaller crystal used to grow a larger crystal?
a nucleus or plural nuclei
How does nuclear produce new elements?
Inside stars, nuclear fusion combines smaller nuclei into larger nuclei, thus creating heavier elements
What is the two smaller nuclei joining to form a larger nucleus?
Nuclear fusion is the process where two smaller atomic nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus. This process releases a significant amount of energy and is the principle behind the power source in stars like the sun.
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
Energy is released when smaller nuclei join to form a larger nucleus in a process called what?
Nuclear fusion
Which energy releases smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus?
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
Why is a larger nucleus not as stable as a smaller nucleus?
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.
What is the joining of two or more nuclei to form a large nucleus?
The joining of two or more nuclei to form a larger nucleus is called nuclear fusion. This process releases a significant amount of energy and is the mechanism that powers the sun and other stars. It is the opposite of nuclear fission, where a large nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.
What is the difference between nuclear fusion and fission?
Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei, also releasing energy. The main difference is in the reaction: fusion combines nuclei, while fission splits them.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
Is the chloroplast in onion cells larger than the nuclei?
No, the nuclei in onion cells are generally larger than the chloroplasts. Nuclei are the control center of the cell and contain genetic material, while chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis.
What is the splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei?
Nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, typically releasing large amounts of energy. This process is commonly used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.
