How is nuclear binding energy released?
Through either fusion of light elements or fission of heavy ones
What is the importance of fission?
the importance of fissionis to find out the nucleus of a particular heavy element splits into two nuclie of lighter elements
What does happen within the sun is it fission or fusion?
Fusion only, there are no heavy elements like uranium so there can be no fission taking place
Radioactive elements include all those elements whose nuclei contain what?
Radioactive elements include all elements whose nuclei either:contain protons more than 83 proton, orcontain neutron to proton ratio out of the stability ratio.refer to related question below.
Is lead the heaviest metal on earth?
Lead is considered a Heavy Metal and by volume it weighs more when compared to most other metals. it is 82nd on the periodic table and as the periodic table is arranged according to the mass of the elements lead falls on the heavy side, but there are 104 known elements. that leaves 22 elements that have more mass than lead.
Why do astronomers believe that globular clusters are made of old stars?
Astronomers believe the globular clusters are made of old stars because of the lack of heavy elements. The heavy element is very abundant in stars like our sun, so the theory is the globular cluster must be older and formed in a more primitive universe.
What is similar between chemists and astronomers?
Chemists deal with the table of elements and the universe contains these elements. Astronomers study space and the planets stars and whatever else is in space contains these elements. Chemistry helped the U.S. to be the first to the moon.
How do we get heavy elements?

What do most astronomers consider Pluto to be a?
