What else can I help you with?
How does the nuclear fusion creates new elements inside stars?
Small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Which type of radiation would you look for in a star to demonstrate that nuclear fusion was occurring inside?
You would look for high-energy electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays emitted from the star. This type of radiation is produced during nuclear fusion reactions when light atomic nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei and release energy. Detection of gamma rays can provide evidence that nuclear fusion is taking place in the core of a star.
Does nuclear fusion convert oxygen to hydrogen?
No, nuclear fusion does not convert oxygen to hydrogen. Fusion involves the joining (fusion) of lighter atoms, such as hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium, to form heavier elements like helium. This process releases large amounts of energy.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Where in the universe is nuclear fusion most commonly found?
Nuclear fusion is most commonly found in stars like our Sun. These stars heat up and create energy through nuclear fusion in their cores by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium. Nuclear fusion is also being studied for potential energy production on Earth through initiatives like nuclear fusion reactors.
How does the nuclear fusion creates new elements inside stars?
Small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
What is nuclear de-fusion?
A word with no meaning like "de-fusion" cannot be defined.
What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?
That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
What does a atom look like after nuclear fusion?
The most likely form of fusion to be successful on earth will be to produce helium from hydrogen isotopes. Helium has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Does nuclear fusion create radioactive waste?
Nuclear fusion does not create long-lasting radioactive waste like nuclear fission does. However, some materials used in fusion reactors may become radioactive and need to be handled carefully.
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
