The symbol is asymbol used for proton/ therefore the nuclear symbol of helium is also the symbol for designating alpha particle

The symbol of an element is x.Is its formula also x?
yes, eg:- helium=he formula of helium=he
How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
What can you infer about helium from the fact that it is made by a nuclear fusion reaction inside the sun?
That the mass of a helium nucleus is larger than the mass of the hydrogen nucleus. Also, since the star uses this process to produce energy, that the helium atom has less energy than the original hydrogen atoms - and therefore also less mass.
An element used in nuclear reactors?
Uranium, plutonium, thorium as nuclear fuels. Heavy water and water as cooling agents or moderators. Zirconium and stainless steels for nuclear rods cladding, calandria, pipes, etc. Also graphite, helium, beryllium, cadmium, indium, silver, gadolinium, etc.
What is called when hydrogen atoms condense to make helium?
This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.
Which nuclear reaction is classified as alpha decay?
The equation for the alpha decay of 210Po is:84210Po --> 82206Pb + 24He where He represents the alpha particle, which can also be viewed as a Helium nucleus.

What are the products of nuclear fusion in a hydrogen bomb?
The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.
What does the symbol of the peace sign mean?
The peace sign, also known as the nuclear disarmament symbol, was originally designed to represent the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D" standing for "Nuclear Disarmament." Over time, it has become a universal symbol for peace and non-violence.
How is helium created?
I think it's formed from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms. The production of Helium was the result of nucleosynthesis which happened just after the Big Bang. In stars it also formed from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen.

How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?
We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.
Why helium is used as coolant in nuclear gas reactor?
due to its high thermal conductivity and also its inert nature prevent the absorption of the radioactive ions
What is the product of a fusion reaction with the sun?
In the sun the product of the nuclear fusion is light energy and heat energy. It also created helium from the isotopes deuterium and tritium.
