What is a transparent fusion product of inorganic substances that have colled to a rigid state without crystallizing?

amorphous


Describe how nuclear fusion generates the suns energy?

It is the process that produces all the sun's energy


What chemical bond possess low latent heat of fusion?

Latent heat of fusion (or enthalpy of fusion) is a characteristic of a substance, rather than a chemical bond. If you mean enthalpy of reaction then the lowest absolute values are for the bonds in H2, F2, and Cl2 as gases, which are zero. One low (and negative) value is for cuprous sulphate. Please see the link.


What are some facts about solids?

one of the three commonly recognized states in which matter occurs, i.e., that state, as distinguished from liquid and gas, in which a substance has both a definite shape and a definite volume. Solids resemble liquids in having a definite volume, but differ from both liquids and gases in having a definite shape. The molecules of a solid, like those of a liquid, are very close together, but whereas the molecules of a liquid are free to move around, those of a solid have less thermal energy and are held fixed in their places by intermolecular forces. Their only movement is a vibration about a fixed position. A solid changes to a liquid when its temperature is raised to its melting point. A definite quantity of heat (called the heat of fusion) is needed to change each gram of the substance from solid to liquid. Some substances change directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state (see sublimation), but most change from solid to liquid before becoming gaseous. Solids are of various types. Metals, their alloys, some nonmetals, and ionic chemical compounds are crystalline in form. Some solids, e.g., chalk and clay, have no regular structure and are called amorphous. Substances such as pitch and resin are called semisolids; these are actually very viscid liquids, but their flow or change of shape is so slow at ordinary temperatures as to be scarcely discernible by the human eye (see viscosity). Properties in which solids differ from one another include density, hardness, malleability, ductility, elasticity, brittleness, and tensile strength.


What are the 2 most abundant elements on the sun?

Hydrogen and helium. The nuclear fires are fueled by converting hydrogen into helium, through nuclear fusion. The core has other substances, but the sun is mostly gases.

How do you say fusion in Italian?

'Fusione' is an Italian equivalent of 'fusion'. It's a feminine noun whose definite article is 'la' ['the'] and whose indefinite article is 'una' ['a, one']. It's pronounced 'foo-SYOH-neh'.

What is a change that occurs when one or more substances change into new substances with different properties?

Chemical reactions, normally. However, radioactivity, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion also fit this definition.

What generates the sun's energy?

Nuclear fusion. Stellar fusion involves a ton of different fusion reactions throughout the star's life. The primary and (usually) the longest burning is the fusion of hydrogen into helium. This consumes a great number of the nuclear energy in the sun, and it usually accounts for the type of fusion that goes on for most of the life of the star. This is the process.

Why two different substances have different melting point?

It depends on the density of the substance. The higher the density, the higher the melting point and vise versa.
