The process of two or more atomic nuclei joining together to form a single nucleus is called?
nuclear fusion
Neutrons function as the atomic?
the neutron keeps the nucleus together. it also binds protons together in the nucleous
Is splitting an atom's nucleus called fission or fusion?
Splitting an atomic nucleus is atomic fission. Fusion is the fusing or "forcing together" of particles or lighter atomic nuclei that then "stick together" to form a heavier atomic nucleus. Use the links below to learn more.Apex= Fission (Ryan Mcaphee =] )
What is fusion?
"Fusion" means mashing two or more things together in sucha way as to cause them to join up and form a single thing.Fusion is the joining of two items together. Fusion welding of steel is a common fabrication method. In atomic power generation, fusion is a method (yet to be perfected) of joining atoms together to make heavier ones, and with the release of energy.
In order for a heavy nucleus like lead to remain a unit it must have 1.5 times more neutrons than protons to overcome what electrostatic forces?
Lead can only stay together if it has enough nuclear binding energy to overcome the electrostatic repulsive forces of all the protons in the nucleus of its atom. Remember that protons are positive charges, and like charges repel. Only nuclear glue, that binding energy, holds the nucleus together. This binding energy is generated during the process wherein the atomic nucleus was created. The neutrons and protons that are going to be in a nucleus all suffer a slight reduction in their mass. This mass deficit is converted into the binding energy that holds a nucleus together. That's why it takes all those neutrons in the nucleus of an atom to keep the whole thing together.
The process of two or more atomic nuclei joining together to form a single nucleus is called?
nuclear fusion
What is fusion Is it a chemical?
Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.
What holds up the nucleus together?
An atomic nucleus is held together by what is known to physicists as the strong nuclear force.
A nucleus consits of tightly bound together?
Atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?
The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
What is the process in which an atomic nucleus expels a helium nucleus?
We give the name alpha decay to this nuclear decay event. The alpha particle, which is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons bound together, is, in fact a helium-4 nucleus.
What is the process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus?
The process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus is called alpha decay of the original nucleus.
What is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?
It is the process of Radioactivity.
Is it true that the nucleus is an atomic particle that has no atomic change?
the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons together. the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge [electrons circle the nucleus and have a negative charge]
What is the name of the center of an atom where the protons and neutrons clump together?
This is the atomic nucleus.
Neutrons function as the atomic?
the neutron keeps the nucleus together. it also binds protons together in the nucleous
What is the atomic number of the nucleus?
The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus.
