it does not. you can fuse any elements to each other
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen....
The elements in octane are simply carbon and hydrogen. There are eight carbons which are covalently bonded together in a line, and since the carbon has to fill its valence shell it has hydrogens attached to the free electrons. Carbon needs to bond to four elements to have a full valence shell.
Hydrogen is placed in the metal group because it only needs to lose one electron to be stable just like lithium, sodium, potassium etc It also has the same number of valence electrons as the rest of the elements in group 1a. :)
Group 17 elements need one more electron to achieve the nearest noble gas electronic configuration. Hydrogen also needs one electron. Hence hydrogen behaves like a group 17 element when forming covalent bond.
Water is H2O. The hydrogen molecule has 1 electron and it needs to fill the first shell. Oxygen has a complete first shell and six electrons in the second. The second shell needs eight to be complete. So a bond of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen molecule is very stable. The way the two elements combine has the oxygen molecule in the middle and the two hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral pattern.
in neclear fusion, two hydrogen nuclei combine to create a helium, which has slightly less mass than the two hydrogen nuclei. The lost mass is converted to energy.
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen....
The sun is not a fire... it is nuclear fusion being conduct with the hydrogen particles colliding together. So basically once the sun runs out hydrogen it will explode.
different letters in the alphabetAn "A-bomb" is usually a fission bomb (plutonium or Uranium fissions = splits into lighter elements)An "H-bomb" is a fusion bomb wherein Hydrogen (or some isotope of it) "fuses" into heavier elements. Often an H-bomb needs the energy of an A-bomb to start its nuclear reaction but the output is SO much greater that the A-bombs energy output is dwarfed by the enormous fusion explosion.
The formula for a sugar is generally CnH2nOn for a monosaccharide. Whatever the sugar, it needs to contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
Nuclear fusion. It needs to be hot enough for atoms of hydrogen to fuse together to produce a helium atom - this process releases a large amount of energy.
Most chemical elements beyond hydrogen and helium are produced in a star's fusion reaction. Only when that particular star dies, do those larger elements, like oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc..., get released to space, where they become part of a forming planet. Stars like out sun can make most elements up to Fe (iron). For elements heavier than iron, a very large star needs to go nova (explode). During this nova explosion, elements like gold, platinum, lead, silver are created. Novas occur seldomly, so these elements tend to be rare. Why they are considered "precious."
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
A clump of matter must collapse under the attraction of its own gravity. The collapse must heat the matter up to form a plasma which undergoes thermonuclear fusion - of hydrogen into helium.
Nuclear fusion of light elements is the process operating in the stars to produce energy, and needs very high temperature to occur. Experiments on earth to aim at producing useful power from fusion have been progressing for many years. The reactants most likely to be used are isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium. These need to be heated to some hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin before reaction starts. Fusion reactions have been seen, but only for less than 1 second so far. Fusion is not a chemical reaction, it is a nuclear process.
