The technology doesn't currently exist to get reasonable amounts of energy from hydrogen fusion. It is hoped, however, that Deuterium - which is much easier to fuse than normal hydrogen - can be fused some time in the foreseeable future.

The problem is that the hydrogen (or deuterium) would have to be heated to something like 100 million Kelvin (or Centigrade), and maintained at that temperature for a few seconds at least - and at a high pressure, too.

Q: Hydrogen is present in the center of the sun then why is it not used as a major source of energy as we are facing shortage of energy?

How can conserving energy helps prevent shortages?

If you save energy you can't have a shortage because if a shortage is about to happen the energy that you save will take over the energy that is running out.


How is energy created in the center of the sun?

By nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium


What would happens to high energy electrons and hydrogen held by NADH if there is no O2 present?

Why is the sun's energy generated in the center and not from its surface?

The sun is powered by the fusion of hydrogen and helium in it's center. The heat in the center of the sun, and the pressure in the center, is great enough to cause the fusion to happen.


What happens to the properties of oxygen when it bonds with hydrogen to form water?

With two doublet Two free electrons Oxygen is nucleophilic center "aggressive" Who Attack All electrophilic center. THERE are almost No free oxygen. Oxygen practically present as O3, O2, H2O, With An order of decreasing stability. So we can say That Oxygen LOSES some of its Reactivity (in term of energy). Example the combustion reactions between the oxygen and the hydrogen formed in the water there is a loss of energy as heat.

The recent energy shortage indicates?

the need for conservation.


What happens in the center of the sun create the energy that travels to earth?

The energy is created by fusion which occurs at the center of the sun. fusion occurs when the hydrogen atoms at the center of the sun are compressed so tightly that they reach a temp of 15 million degrees or so. then a nuclear reaction ac cures and the hydrogen turns into helium. this process creates a lot of heat and light etc, which we use to live.

Does hydrogen have an energy source?

Hydrogen is an element and an energy source itself.
