What primary atomic reaction occurs within the sun that converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms?
Its called as nuclear fusion. The nucleus of hydrogen atoms fuse together and form helium nucleus. There is some difference of the two masses resulting it to become energy by Einstein's formulae e=mc^2
What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
What is the process called in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy?
nuclear fusion
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.
During nuclear fusion what do stars produce?
In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusionis the process by which multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy.
Is hydrogen hydrogen helium alpha decay?
No. Hydrogen atoms combining to form helium is nuclear fusion. Alpha decay is a process whereby a large atomic nucleus ejects a helium nucleus.
What is the process by which stars burn brightly?
Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.
The process of changing hydrogen to helium?
nuclear fusion
By what process do you convert hydrogen to helium?
nuclear fusion!!
What energy has sun fusing helium atoms in hydrogen and release energy?
Nuclear fusion is a process where multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release of energy. The nuclear fusion process is responsible for the fusion of helium of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in the core of the sun.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Where does a star get its energy?
By converting hydrogen to helium using nuclear fusion
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.
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 is the chemistry background of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is based on the helium nucleus synthesis from two hydrogen atoms at very high temperatures.
What is the process that generates energy in the core of a main sequence star?
The process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. All stars at their main sequence converts hydrogen to helium giving large energy by during hydrogen atoms into helium nucliiFusion of hydrogen.
The suns energy comes from a process called what?
fusion; this process fuels the sun with hydrogen
