How did nuclear fusion lead to the formation of all chemical elements?
how has nuclear fusion led to the formation of all the other chemical elements
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.
How is carbon developed?
Same as all elements - in stars by nuclear fusion.
How do stars create all elements up to iron in their core. What if your answer?
The process is called stellar nucleosynthesis and is based on nuclear fusion reactions.
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.
What is events of occurring in the sun?
Nuclear fusion: mainly of hydrogen into helium. To a lesser extent there is fusion of helium into larger elements - all the way to iron.
What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.
What can be done with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion occurs in stars with different result under different circumstances. The heat and light from the sun results from the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. Nuclear fusion has been used to make bombs, as is well known, in a process similar to the sun's production of heat and light. It happens, however, that all elements heavier than hydrogen are thought to exist as a result of fusion processes. And we can make atoms of different elements synthetically by nuclear fusion processes. For example, the first atoms of copernicium were made by fusing zinc and lead atoms. Nuclear fusion can be used to generate neutrons. The fusor is a device that uses fusion to make neutrons. Neutrons have a variety of uses, especially in the creation of certain isotopes which have a variety of purposes, including medical use.
What are fusion and fission with respect to nuclear physics?
Fission is a nuclear reaction where a heavy atom is split up into lighter elements, thereby producing energy. Fission is commonly used in nuclear power plants, but someday they will use fusion. Fusion is a nuclear reaction where very light elements are fused together under enormous heat and pressure into heavier elements, thereby producing energy. The Sun and all the stars are fusion reactors. Thermonuclear bombs (H-bombs) use fission (an A-bomb) to produce the heat needed for fusion.
How do scientists make elements that are heavier than uranium?
They are made by stars through nuclear fusion. While we mostly use nuclear fusion just with hydrogen into helium, the nuclear fusion process can be used to make any and every element. All elements* up to Iron, yield energy during the fusion process. To procceed above iron, the fusion process takes energy, rather then supplying it. *minus a few select isotopes
Do all stars release energy as a result of nuclear fusion?
Yes, all stars release energy due to nuclear fusion.
What re the phenomena involved about the sun?
Sun, you can say is a huge nuclear reactor in which a constant & rapid nuclear fusion takes place.Hydrogen is the basic constituent of any star which it use as a fuel for nuclear fusion to give higher elements with realease of energy due to mass defect. this, Fusion takes place all along the sun & hence enormous amount of energy is released.hence,nuclear fusion is the phenomena that keeps the star alive!
