The proton is one of the fundamental particles of the nucleus, the other is the neutron. The proton is positively charged, the neutron has no charge. They are held together by the strong nuclear force.

What happens to the energy if an electron moves away from a proton?
to have a proton come out of a nucleus the atom must be a large radioactive element, meaning its so big its unstable and particles come off. the particles that are released is the radiation so the proton is called alpha radiation the energy is purely its high speed momentum. the energy of a proton coming of a nucleus is technically mechanical energy.
The mass of the parts is always the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses?
No. The nuclear attraction is so strong that there is a lot of (potential) energy involved; so if you join particles (like, a proton and a neutron), there will be a significant difference of energy, and therefore of mass. Usually less than 1%, but quite noticeable.No. The nuclear attraction is so strong that there is a lot of (potential) energy involved; so if you join particles (like, a proton and a neutron), there will be a significant difference of energy, and therefore of mass.

What process is responsible for the production of tremendous heat of the sun?
Nuclear fusion, specifically the proton-proton (P-P) chain, is responsible for more than 98% of the Sun's energy. Less than 2% of the Sun's energy is estimated to come from the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Fusion Cycle, because the Sun is not massive enough to depend on the CNO cycle.
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.
Is true about nuclear fission?
Any nuclei of elements greater than one proton, ie; hydrogen, can undergo fission depending on the amount of energy available.
What type of energy is release when a proton is knock out of atoms nucleus?
nuclear energy
What kind of proton causes a nuclear reaction?
All protons are identical. Any proton with sufficiently high energy can cause a nuclear reaction.

What is the main resource of nuclear energy?
Uranium-238 is used in nuclear reactors.It produces energy by the nucleus being split by a proton hence nuclearreactor.
How is the sun related to nuclear energy?
The sun is a star, and it is also a nuclear fusion reactor. It is fusing hydrogen into helium to create energy via what we call the proton-proton nuclear reaction. Our local star has been doing this for billions of years, and will continue to do so for billions more.
What do scientists mean when they talk about strong nuclear force and binding energy?
Nuclear forces are those forces which act in very short ranges and they are independent on the charge carried by that particle , for example nuclear forces are seen to act between neutron - proton, proton-proton,neutron-neutron and these forces are attractive in nature .These forces act when the above particles are very close to each other in the nucleus. Whereas Binding energy is the energy required to maintain the particles,neutron ;proton, in the nucleus.
The source of the sun's energy is nuclear?
Yes. Specifically nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen atoms with one proton combine to form helium atoms with two protons.
What has the author Barry Blumenfeld written?
Barry Blumenfeld has written: 'Observation of pi- mesons with large transverse momentum in high energy proton-proton collisions' -- subject(s): Collisions (Nuclear physics), Proton-proton interactions, Protons, Scattering
How does sun provides energy?
The Sun produces energy by nuclear fusion. It follows the steps of the proton-proton(P-P) chain, which converts hydrogen to helium. The core of the Sun produces about 99% of heat through fusion.

What is the energy stored in the center of an atom?
nuclear energy
What distributes and generates the suns energy?
A nuclear reaction, deep in the interior of the sun, called the proton-proton chain converts four hydrogen nuclei (protons) into the nucleus of a helium atom. The energy released results because some of the matter is converted to energy.
