Because iron has very little binding energy, to get it to fuse you must add binding energy. This takes a supernova explosion or a powerful particle accelerator. Elements lighter than iron have excess binding energy that can be releases by fusion, but not iron (or any heavier element).

Why does uranium not yield energy when fused with something else?

Uranium does not yield energy when fused with something else because fusion reactions involve combining lighter elements to form heavier ones, releasing energy in the process. Uranium, being a heavy element, would require energy input to undergo fusion reactions, making it impractical for energy production. Instead, uranium undergoes fission reactions, where its nucleus splits into lighter elements, releasing energy.


Are 12 in number not fused?

If you are referring to anatomical structures, such as ribs, there are typically 12 pairs in humans, and they are not fused, allowing for flexibility and movement. However, some structures in the body can be fused or connected in different ways depending on the context. If you meant something else by "12 in number not fused," please provide more context for a specific answer.

Are we energy when we die, or does our energy transform into something else?

When we die, the energy in our bodies is transformed into other forms, such as heat and chemical energy. This energy does not disappear but is redistributed in the environment.


During a nuclear fusion hydrogen atoms are fused into?

During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms are fused into helium atoms. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light. It is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.


Why do you need to become efficient?

because that means less energy is used. if something is more efficient than something else it is so because it can either use less energy to do the same thing or the same amount of energy to do more
