What else can I help you with?
Is momentum of heavier bodies is greater than lighter bodies?
Yes.
How are elements heavier than iron are formed?
Elements heavier than iron are formed in super-nova explosions.
The heavier elements in the universe were formed by .?
They were formed in supernovae.
Stars having enough solar mass to be capable of a supernova are the universe's only source of all elements heavier than?
Iron. During supernova explosions, heavier elements are created through nucleosynthesis as the star undergoes various fusion processes. These elements are then dispersed into space, eventually contributing to the formation of planets and other celestial bodies.
What is the composition of lighter elements in comparison with heavier element?
Lighter elements are composed of fewer protons and neutrons compared to heavier elements. They tend to have fewer total nucleons and lower atomic numbers. Lighter elements are typically found at the beginning of the periodic table, while heavier elements are found towards the end.
What it a process in which lighter elements stick together to create heavier elements?
This process is known as nuclear fusion. It occurs in stars like the sun when lighter elements such as hydrogen are combined to form heavier elements like helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
How Heavier elements in the universe were formed by .?
Heavier elements in the universe were primarily formed through nuclear fusion processes in stars. During their lifecycles, stars fuse lighter elements, like hydrogen and helium, into heavier elements in their cores. When massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they undergo supernova explosions, which scatter these heavier elements into space, enriching the interstellar medium. Additionally, processes like neutron capture during these explosive events contribute to the creation of even heavier elements.
What is heavier than air?
Almost all solid elements are heavier than air. This is why these elements do not float under normal atmospheric situations.
What fuel is used by red giant stars?
After using up its hydrogen-1, the star becomes a red giant. It will start fusing helium-4 into heavier elements. It may also fuse heavier elements, to get other elements that are yet heavier.
Why does your sun have 2 percent heavier elements and from where do they come?
I think it's our Sun which gets heavier elements from fusion of hydrogen and other light elements.Edit: Our Sun does create helium from hydrogen by fusion, but that's all. The reason it has heavier elements is that these come from the nebula that formed the Sun. The heavier elements are thought to have come from stars that exploded as "supernovas", a long time ago.
What happens with fusion of heavier element?
When heavier elements undergo fusion, they release energy in the form of light and heat. This process can only occur in extreme conditions, such as the high temperatures and pressures found in stars or during a thermonuclear reaction. Fusion of heavier elements can lead to the formation of even heavier elements and can release a tremendous amount of energy.
What is produced within a star's core?
New elements - helium always, heavier elements often (up to iron) and heavier than that if the star explodes.
