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.
Is the air is often blended into ice cream to give it a lighter texture a physical or chemical and why?
It is a physical process because the chemical composition remain unchanged.
What is the chemical found in the nucleus that controls the production of protein?
The start codon, is a specific triplet of chemicals which control where the protein production process begins.
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Reaction that involves a change in the nucleus?
The general term is "nuclear reaction". An atom may emit alpha, beta, or gamma rays; it may split into two or three smaller parts (fission), or two lighter atoms may combine into a heavier one (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 it a process in which lighter elements stick together to create heavier elements?
The process in which lighter elements stick together to create heavier elements is known as fusion. This is the process that will be used in the synthesis of a heavier atomic nuclei.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
What is the process of heavier plates moving under lighter plates called?
Subduction!
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.
How do you splitt an atom?
With a really sharp knife. Just kidding... there is no chemical process that will do this. However, there are naturally occuring nuclear decay processes that will split up an atomic nucleus. When this happens, one heavier atom yields two lighter atoms, plus something released - either an alpha particle (a helium atom nucleus), a beta particle (an electron), or gamma rays (very dangerous.)
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
What process turns a star into energy?
Nuclear fusion, of lighter elements onto heavier elements.
What process turns a star matter into energy?
Nuclear fusion, of lighter elements onto heavier elements.
What are the different forms of nuclear energy?
There are probably various ways to classify it. Here is one. You can gain energy either by combining atoms that are lighter than iron or nickel into heavier atoms (a process known as fusion), or by splitting heavier atoms into lighter ones (a process known as fission).
What is the process of splitting of a heavier nucleus into lighter with the release of energy called?
Fission is the word you are looking for, but the less massive nuclei of the daughter atoms are usually far less stable than the nucleus of the parent, which is why nuclear waste from plant that uses uranium as fuel is extremely dangerous but nuclear fuel for the plant is not.
How the melting of the interior of the earth helped to bring about differentiation?
Its a process by which denser material is separated from lighter material and is set in layers with the heavier and denser material sinking to the core and the lighter to the surface.
