Which substance is most likely to undergo nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen is the most likely substance to undergo nuclear fusion. In the core of stars, hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through the fusion process, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
List three conditions that must exist for the continuous fusion of hydrogen to occur?
High temperature, high pressure, and the presence of hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium are necessary conditions for the continuous fusion of hydrogen to occur in a controlled manner.
Is a star a pure substance?
No - a star would not be a pure substance. Our understanding of how stars function includes a continuous fusion of hydrogen to form helium and, depending on the star, possibly further fusion of the helium into even heavier elements. Once formed, these heavier elements do not just go away or change back into helium so stars will always be composed of a mixture of hydrogen and the byproducts of fusion.
What going on in the Sun that making it a light sources?
Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.
What is the most common substance found in the sun?
The most common substance found in the sun is hydrogen. Approximately 74% of the sun's mass is made up of hydrogen, which fuels nuclear fusion reactions in its core, generating heat and light. Helium is the second most abundant element in the sun.
What are the factors that affect specific latent heat of fusion of a substance?
The amount of energy needed to change the "state of matter" is termed as "latent heat". This is not same for vapourisation (liquid to vapour) or for fusion (solid to liquid). For example, latent of fusion is 79.7 cal whereas latent heat for vapourisation is 541 calories. The latent depends on how closely the atoms and molecules in the matter are closely packed.
How does hydrogen affect people?
The sun (mostly hydrogen) is basically a nuclear fusion reactor, releasing energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into higher elements (which is where the higher elements actually come from). In fact it is a fusion bomb held together by stupendous gravity. No hydrogen, no sun, no people.
Why a hydrogen bomb is called a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is called so because it mainly relies on the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to release energy. The fusion process is what distinguishes it from an atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission.
What fusion in stars occurs to create the element helium?
Hydrogen fusion occurs in stars to create helium. This process, known as nuclear fusion, involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?
When hydrogen stocks run out
Hydrogen or carbon fusion reactions require the highest temp?
Carbon fusion requires much higher temperatures and pressures than ordinary hydrogen fusion.
