What happens to the mass lost in nuclear fusion?
its converted to energy
What is mass defect associated with?
nuclear fusion
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
In a nuclear fusion reaction the mass of the products is?
Less than 1%.
What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?
None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)
What happens to some of the mass in a nuclear reaction like fusion?
it fusions
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
What happens to the mass lost in nuclear fusion?
its converted to energy
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
Which source of energy is used for fusion?
Nuclear fusion produces energy from the changes in the nuclear composition of the fuel, which is a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Essentially what happens is that some of the mass of the nuclei is destroyed and this releases energy
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What is mass defect associated with?
nuclear fusion
In nuclear fusion mass is tansformed into?
Energy
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
How do stars convert mass to energy?
Nuclear Fusion
What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?
Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
