Do arteries have a nucleus?
No. An artery is a closed "pipeline" for the blood; the cells it is made of have nuclei, the cells it transports have nuclei, but the artery itself does not.
Could a cell live without a nucleolus?
A cell would die without its nucleus as it is its "brain" which controls the cell. Only human red blood cells have no nuclei after maturity.
Do protons circle the nucleus of an atom?
Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)
Is it true that protons in the nucleus attach themselves to another atom?
No. Not under normal conditions. It is true that protons within the nucleus attract each other due to the residual binding energy left over from the binding energy that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, but that force does not extend beyond the nucleus before the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force, would override the residual binding energy. In order to bind protons from different nuclei together, more formally, different nuclei together, you need nuclear fusion, and that requires high temperature and high pressure, first to ionize the atom and strip away the electron shells, and second to bring the nuclei close enough together that the residual binding energy can overcome the electromagnetic force.
How can you use the word electron in a sentence?
The neutrons and protons are located in the atom's nucleus. Although several members of the revolution saw significant problems with the nucleus of the plan, they refrained from saying anything, knowing that their leader would simply fly into a rage at any backtalk. The nucleus is the center of an atom and also its control center
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.
Is Duterium heavy than Tririum?
Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen (H). As far as their masses: Tritium>Deuterium>Protium In their nuclei: Protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons Deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons So yes, Deuterium is heavier than tritium.
What particle is produced during thermonuclear fusion?
deuterium and tritium fuse producing helium and a neutronthe helium is fully ionized and thus could also be called an alpha particle
Is Fusion a process in which existing nuclei combine to make new nuclei?
Yes. In nuclear fusion, experiments are trying to produce fusion of nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The product will be nuclei of helium plus released energy.
Isotopes of hydrogen differ in what?
Isotopes (of hydrogen) differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms.
What is the fusion of deuterium and hydrogen equation?
The fusion of deuterium (D) and hydrogen (H) involves the fusion of two deuterium nuclei to form a helium-3 nucleus and a neutron. The equation for this reaction is: 2D + 1H → 3He + n + energy.
Which source of energy is used for fusion?
Nuclear fusion produces energy from the changes in the nuclear composition of the fuel, which is a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Essentially what happens is that some of the mass of the nuclei is destroyed and this releases energy
What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?
Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.
What does a hydrogen bomb use for its explosive power?
A hydrogen bomb uses nuclear fusion, the process of fusing hydrogen atoms together, to release a massive amount of energy. This energy release is what generates the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
What is the most common typle of nuclear fusion in the sun?
The most common fusion in the sun is two hydrogen atoms fusing to produce helium. There are different ways this can happen. Two deuterium atoms may fuse, or a deuterium atom may fuse with a tritium atom, or two tritium atoms may fuse. Since the half life of tritium is rather short, the overwhelming majority of these atoms are deuterium atoms. The commonest form of hydrogen, known as protium, does not take part in the process.
How an atom of tritium different from an atom of hydrogen?
Tritium, n., A radioactive isotope of hydrogen having an atomic mass of 3.017 and a nucleus composed of 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its halflife is 12.26 years and it decays by beta decay to Helium-3. Tritium is normally only produced synthetically on earth by placing sealed pellets of Lithium in the neutron flux of a nuclear reactor.
Who recognised that large energy is released as a result of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form deuterium?
Hans Bethe, a physicist, recognized that a large amount of energy is released as a result of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form deuterium in the process known as nuclear fusion. This discovery was key in understanding the energy source of stars like our Sun.
