What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?
In a hydrogen bomb, hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H) are fused together to form helium. The main reaction involves the fusion of deuterium and tritium nuclei to create a helium nucleus, along with a neutron and release of a large amount of energy.
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
What materials besides deuterium and tritium can be used for fusion?
All elements below nickel and iron on the periodic table can undergo fusion, under the proper conditions.However due to limits on the conditions achievable within the casing of a bomb, only deuterium and tritium will work. However standard hydrogen bomb designs use the compound lithium deuteride instead (tritium is radioactive and using deuterium and tritium directly requires cryogenics severely complicating the device). Neutrons from fission cause the lithium to split, producing the tritium needed only moments before it is needed to make the bomb work.
What is heavy water in soda?
Deuterium Oxide. Heavy water is water formed using higher proportions of deuterium and tritium, unstable and heavier isotopes of hydrogen, for ease of storage of those particles before use in nuclear reactions.it is water
Why does nuclear fusion work inside the sun but not in jupiter?
Jupiter is not massive enough to create the high temperature and high pressure required by even deuterium-tritium thermonuclear fusion, the lowest temperature and pressure type of fusion. The Sun is much more massive and can fuse ordinary hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, and helium 3; producing helium. When the sun begins to run out of hydrogen in 6 billion years, the core will collapse and eventually be able to fuse helium into carbon and become a red giant. The red giant will swallow Mercury, Venus and Earth before it stops expanding.
Can a balloon be compressed?
Yes, a balloon can be compressed by applying pressure to reduce its volume. However, the material of the balloon will have limits to how much it can be compressed before it bursts or is damaged.
Who invented the compressed air tank for paint ball?
Compressed air tanks were around long before paintball.
What weapon was first used in 1952?
The first true fusion bomb was tested: Ivy Mike on the island of Eugelab in Eniwetok atoll (after the test Eugelab no longer existed). However Mike wasn't exactly a weapon, being 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall with 2 foot thick steel walls. It contained a triple nested thermos bottle containing a mixture of liquid deuterium/tritium and required a large cryogenic plant to keep liquid hydrogen circulating through the outer thermos to keep the deuterium/tritium liquid. Yield was 10 megatons. No bomber could have lifted Mike. Some in the military thought fusion bombs could only be used as weapons by having large ships deliver them to enemy harbors and hope the ship isn't sunk before getting there.
Why do photos get compressed before storing?
To save storage space.
What causes the colors of meteors?
Heating of the air compressed before it.
Why are files compressed before transmission in a computer communication system?
They're compressed in order to cut down on transmission time and to ease the burden on the network.
What must happen to compressed oxygen before it can be inhaled?
Compressed oxygen must first be filtered to remove any impurities or contaminants. It is then typically stored in a tank or cylinder under high pressure. Before inhalation, the compressed oxygen is delivered through a regulator that reduces the pressure to a safe level for breathing.
