Is fusion an atomic process that is used to produce energy?
Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
Does fusion occur only under extremely high temperatures?
Nuclear fusion of light elements is the process operating in the stars to produce energy, and needs very high temperature to occur. Experiments on earth to aim at producing useful power from fusion have been progressing for many years. The reactants most likely to be used are isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium. These need to be heated to some hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin before reaction starts. Fusion reactions have been seen, but only for less than 1 second so far. Fusion is not a chemical reaction, it is a nuclear process.
Explain why in spite of these advantages fusion is not normally used for the generation of power?
It is too difficult to initiate and sustain the reaction within a controlled space.

Why uranium 235 is used in fusion reaction?
The isotope 235U is important for the nuclear fissionreaction (not fusion !).
What energy would be used in a nuclear reaction in a star?
Nuclear fusion.
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in atomic bombs?
fission and in some fusion
What is a cervical fusion used to treat?
Cervical fusion is used to treat inflammation of the cervix. Doctors are hesitant to use cervical fusion because of it is an innovative process that has yet to get tested. Cervical fusion is an alternative to laser surgery that has become an acceptable form of medical process.
Which component of ocean water is used by mankind in nuclear fusion reaction?
Deuterium and Tritium
What is one obstacle that is used in nuclear fusion?
temperature/pressure needed to start reaction.
What is called when hydrogen atoms condense to make helium?
This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion
What is nucleur fusion used for?
with the help of controlled fusion we can produce fusion power which can be used to produce electricity.with the help of nuclear fusion ,hundreds of neutrons generators are produced annually for use in the petroleum industry where they are used in measurment equipment for locating and mapping oil reserves.nuclear reaction is responsible for providing powers to stars.
What is the type of energy used in the process of fusion on the sun?
That is called nuclear energy.
Which one of these two process is still used today Nuclear Fission or Fusion?
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
