How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
Is nuclear symbol for helium the same symbol for a proton?
No the hydrogen nucleus is a proton. The helium nucleus is an alpha particle.
Does nuclear fusion convert oxygen to hydrogen?
No. Nuclear fusion will convert hydrogen to helium and, at higher temperatures, oxygen into silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
What has the Atomic nucleus at fewest protons?
helium with 2 proton Hydrogen has 1 proton.
Is the sun made up of mostly hydrogen?
Essentially yes; the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion with hydrogen being converted to helium.
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How is the nucleus of hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear reactions in the cores of stars convert hydrogen to helium
Is hydrogen hydrogen helium alpha decay?
No. Hydrogen atoms combining to form helium is nuclear fusion. Alpha decay is a process whereby a large atomic nucleus ejects a helium nucleus.
What are the Nuclear fuels of one solar mass stars over the course of its entire evolution?
At first, such a star will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4; later, it will convert helium-4 into heavier atoms, up to about iron.
Is nuclear symbol for helium the same symbol for a proton?
No the hydrogen nucleus is a proton. The helium nucleus is an alpha particle.
What does the sun convert into helium?
Hydrogen Nuclei
By what process do you convert hydrogen to helium?
nuclear fusion!!
How are hydrogen nuclei different from helium nuclei?
The main difference is that hydrogen nuclei have 1 proton whereas helium nuclei have 2 protons. The number of neutrons depends on the "isotope". Usually, a hydrogen nucleus does not have neutrons and is simply a proton. The helium nucleus usually has 2 neutrons.
What atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?
The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is a nuclear fusion that occurs at the sun's core.
Are hydrogen-3 and helium-3 isotopes of the same element?
No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.
