What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
What is this process called when hydrogen nuclei combine with stars to form helium and other heavier elements?
nuclear fusion reaction
Was carbon the first atom created after the big bang theory?
No, hydrogen was. other heavier elements, starting with helium, were formed by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei.
What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?
Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) nuclei and tritium nuclei to form helium nuclei. This comes from lithium deuteride in modern "dry" hydrogen bombs. Neutrons from fission splits the lithium generating tritium just before fusion is ignited..
Is Fusion a process in which existing nuclei combine to make new nuclei?
Yes. In nuclear fusion, experiments are trying to produce fusion of nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The product will be nuclei of helium plus released energy.
Which pair of nuclei can undergo a fusion reaction?
Hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3
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.
What element is transformed in solar fusion?
Our sun mostly transforms hydrogen nuclei into helium by fusion, but it also fuses helium with helium, lithium with hydrogen, and beryllium with hydrogen, to make elements as heavy as boron.
What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
What is the source of energy for a star?
The energy source for stars, which produces vast amounts of heat and light, is the fusion of atomic nuclei in the star's core. In our own Sun, hydrogen is fused into helium; in older and heavier stars heavier elements may also undergo nuclear fusion.
Why is the sun's temperature so high?
Because of the Thermonuclear fusion that goes on inside the core. Hydrogen nuclei undergo this process to form helium nuclei, giving out massive amounts of heat and light.
In stars hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements. What is this process called?
This process is called "nuclear fusion".

How is nuclear energy in stars?
Stars obtain energy through the majority of their lives by the process of thermonuclear fusion of the nuclei of light elements to produce nuclei of heavier elements. Initially the processes fuses hydrogen nuclei, producing helium nuclei (similar to what hydrogen bombs do), but the process ceases when it produces nickel and iron nuclei at which point the star begins dying as it has run out of nuclear fuel.
