Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using?
Particle accelerator
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of the earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
The range of elements found on earth were formed by some supernova explosion in the distant past, and somehow the earth was formed from the debris and then captured by the sun. Fusion must have been involved though the exact course of these events can only be surmised. Nuclear fusion has not been used on earth to create synthetic elements, and in fact has only been produced in a few places for very short times, less than one second. You are probably thinking of nuclear fission, where operation of nuclear reactors does produce synthetic elements such as plutonium. These are called the transuranic elements.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
What is this process called when hydrogen nuclei combine with stars to form helium and other heavier elements?
nuclear fusion reaction
Are synthetic elements radioactive?
Synthetic elements are usually radioactive, but not necessarily so. It is conceivable for a non-radioactive neutral atom to be produced by a nuclear spallation reaction.
The production of synthetic elements is an example of what type of nuclear reaction?
I've never actually studies physics at A-level or degree level, but I'm pretty sure this is an example of nuclear fusion. Physicists; please correct me if I'm wrong!
Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of Earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
Creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory is not based on nuclear fusion.
Where are synhetic elements made from?
Synthetic elements are obtained by nuclear reactions.
What machine makes most synthetic elements?
Synthetic elements are obtained: - in nuclear reactors - as a result (in debris) of nuclear weapons explosions - with the aid of particle accelerators
Where is synthetic elements made?
in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators
Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using?
Particle accelerator
How are synthetic elements created?
When nuclear particles are forced to crash into one another
Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using what?
Particle Accelerators.
What is the general process by which elements are synthesized?
Scientists make synthetic elements by forcing nuclear particles to crash into one another.
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
What elements are used in a nuclear reaction?
Usually uranium, can also be plutonium
