By adding energy (heat) to an atom, it is possible to ionize the atom by stripping the electrons away from the nucleus. It is easy to strip away one or two electrons even at low temperatures, but in the nuclear core of a star (where the temperature can reach MILLIONS of degrees) it would be common to remove all of the electrons from every atom.
What else can I help you with?
What are the differences between plasma and gas?
Plasma is a state of matter where atoms are ionized, meaning they have lost or gained electrons, while gas is made up of neutral atoms or molecules. Plasma conducts electricity and is affected by magnetic fields, while gas does not. Plasma is often found in stars and lightning, while gas is commonly found in the atmosphere.
What is the most common element that is found in the stars?
Stars are mostly made up of hydrogen. The stars use the hydrogen atoms to make helium. Please recomend me.
Hot gases containing charged and uncharged atoms and free electrons is?
Plasma. Plasma is a state of matter in which atoms are stripped of their electrons, creating a mix of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is often found at high temperatures, such as in stars, lightning, and some industrial processes.
Does solid have atoms?
All solids consist of atoms except for some stars such as neutron stars.
What part of the HR Diagram do you find Helium atoms fusing into Carbon atoms?
Helium atoms fuse into carbon atoms in the core of stars that are in the later stages of stellar evolution, particularly in the red giant phase. In the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) Diagram, this process occurs in the region of the diagram where stars are classified as red giants. These stars have already exhausted hydrogen in their cores and are undergoing helium burning, which primarily occurs at higher temperatures and pressures found in their cores.
What two elements are found in stars?
Hydrogen and helium are the two main elements found in stars. These elements are formed through nuclear fusion in the cores of stars, where high temperatures and pressures enable the atoms to combine and generate energy.
Gas like mixture of charged particles?
Plasma is a gas-like mixture of charged particles consisting of electrons, positively charged ions, and neutral atoms. It is often described as the fourth state of matter and can be found in stars, lightning, and some man-made devices like plasma TVs and fusion reactors.
In stars energy is produced as primarily hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
What event marks the birth of stars?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
In stars energy is produced as hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
What is the fuel spent off in many stars like the sun?
Stars' energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, initially.
Why can nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron be found in stars?
Carbon, oxygen, and iron nuclei are commonly found in stars because they are formed through nuclear fusion processes in the cores of stars. Carbon and oxygen are produced through fusion reactions in stars of medium mass, while iron is formed in the later stages of a star's life through various fusion processes. These elements are essential building blocks for heavier elements and are crucial for the evolution of stars.
