More specifically, if their nuclei get "welded together". Otherwise, it is just a chemical reaction.
Fusion is the combining of atoms of one element to produce another, with electromagnetic and ionising-particle radiation as by-products depending on what atoms are involved. It's the only way in which elements can be produced.
What else can I help you with?
Can fusion occur when atoms get weld together?
yeah
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
What is fusion as opposed to fission and why does it need high temperatures and fast speeds?
Fusion is putting together (atoms ... usually hydrogen atoms), Fission is the breaking apart of atoms. And fusion requires high energy to occur because it requires the nucleus of atoms to touch (collide) - not an easy thing to do (basically impossible using only chemical energy).
Where does atomic fusion come from?
I'm not sure what you are asking, but atomic fusion is a process by which two atoms are forced together to form one larger atom. This is the process that drives the sun where it is mostly fusing two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. Fusion reactions can also occur here on Earth in a hydrogen bomb explosion or in a particle accelerator where atoms are smashed together at great velocity and occasionally stick together to form new atoms. This is basically the process by which transuranic elements are created.
What process has occur when atoms combine to a new element and released?
fusion
What is nuclear fusion on the sun and where does it occur?
nuclear fusion is when 2 hydryon atoms combine or FUSE together. when this happens the neculous combine therefore causing nuclear fussion which releaces masses of heat and light enegry that radiates to earth
How does the sun get produce its energy?
The sun and other stars are hot enough and dense enough at their cores for nuclear fusion to occur. Hydrogen atoms fuse together into helium atoms, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.
How does hydrogen fusion occur?
When two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.
Natural fusion can occur in places like the sun because of extremely temperatures that do not occur on Earth?
Natural fusion occurs in places like the sun due to the high temperatures and pressures present in its core, which allow hydrogen atoms to fuse together to form helium. These extreme conditions are essential for initiating and sustaining the nuclear fusion reactions that power stars.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
What causes energy to be released inside the sun?
Energy is released inside the sun through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium. This fusion process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. The sun's immense gravitational pressure and temperature create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
