What are the 3 main types of nuclear reactions?
Nuclear fission: When an element breaks apart to form lighter elements and other sub-atomic particles. Nuclear fusion: When two lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones.
Nuclear fusion help to explain the origin of all chemical elements?
No - only MOST elements. The first element to form right after the Big Bang was hydrogen; all others formed from hydrogen, through nuclear fusion - some helium in the first minutes of the Big Bang, and heavier elements later, in stars.
How elements from helium to iron are created?
The accepted modern theory of elemental formation states: The lighter elements are a bi-product of nuclear fusion from stellar masses (stars).
How do you combine elements to make other elements?
nuclear fusion
What nuclear process occurred when light elements combine to form heavier elements?
Nuclear Fusion
Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of Earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
Creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory is not based on nuclear fusion.
How is a nuclear fusion the same as a chemical reaction?
They are...reactions and can lead to new elements; but the big difference is that a nuclear fusion involve particles from the atomic nucleus and a very great energy is needed.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.

Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.

How do you combine elements to make other elements?
nuclear fusion
What elements form through nuclear fusion?
With the exceptions of the lighter elements of hydrogen (H) and helium (He), nearly all of the known elements were created by, or as a byproduct of, nuclear fusion.
