What else can I help you with?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?
Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as per Einstein's equation E=mc^2. Fusion reactions are the primary source of energy in the sun and other stars.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
Is the total mass after fusion greater or less than before fusion?
The total mass is less after a fusion reaction. Some of the mass is converted into energy and given off due to the nuclear fusion reaction. For example. 2 atoms of hydrogen are fused to become 1 atom of helium. However, the helium atom will have less mass than the combined mass of the 2 original hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is lost via the energy given off from the nuclear fusion reaction.
In a nuclear fusion reaction how does the mass of the products compare to the mass of the reactants.?
In a nuclear fusion reaction, the mass of the products is slightly less than the mass of the reactants. This loss of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's E=mc^2 equation. The difference in mass is known as the mass defect.
What happens to some of the mass in a nuclear reaction like fusion?
it fusions
In a nuclear fusion reaction the mass of the products is?
Less than 1%.
How does nuclear fission and nuclear fusion get power?
The mass defect due to fission or fusion converts to energy according to the equation: E = m c 2
Why can't a planet be a star?
A planet does not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion.
