Two different isotopes of hydrogen form an isotope of helium on the sun
Two different isotopes of hydrogen form an isotope of helium on the sun.
- A thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb
- The release of energy by the Sun
As an example of nuclear fusion, two deuterium atoms are hot and under pressure, more heat and pressure than can be maintained on Earth, and crash into each other to fuse. The product is a Helium atom and a neutron. The equation for this is as follows:
12H + 12H --> 23He + 01n
There are many ways fusion can happen, and just about everything in our lives was formed through the fusion process at some time in the distant past.
Nuclear fusion occurs in the stars and accounts for all their energy output, including that of our sun. The actual process combines hydrogen nuclei (ie protons) to produce helium. Nuclear fission occurs in some heavy nuclei such as U-235 and Pu-239, and the example is nuclear reactors for power production
Fusion is basically when a solid turns into a liquid.
The stars, including our sun
2H + 3H 4He + neutron
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion is the phenomenon in which two lighter nuclei get fused to form heavier nucleus with the production of energy. Best example is SUN and hydrogen bomb. But nuclear fission of breaking heavier into lighter with the emission of energy. Example uranium-235. So atom bomb Nuclear fusion has clean energy but fission has hazard energy
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 :-)
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.
Nuclear energy.
No. it is an example of nuclear fission (splitting of nucleus).

The sun, and other stars, which burn from nuclear fusion
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.

That is nuclear fission. An example is that of a Uranium-239 atom undergoing beta decay. That is, a neutron in the nucleus ejects and electron, becoming a proton, resulting in Uranium-239 becoming Neptunium-239.
