What is the heaviest element that can be made by normal processes inside a star?
Iron is the heaviest element that can be produced by normal processes inside a star through nuclear fusion. Elements heavier than iron are typically formed in supernova explosions or through other stellar processes.
Is there iron in stars?
Yes, iron is present in stars. Iron is formed in the cores of stars through nuclear fusion processes and is an important element in the life cycle of stars. When a star reaches the end of its life and goes supernova, iron is released into space, where it can be recycled into new stars and planets.
The final core element for a massive star is?
The final core element for a massive star is iron. When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, iron builds up in its core due to fusion reactions. Iron cannot undergo further fusion to release energy, leading to a collapse and subsequent supernova explosion.
Is iron the heaviest element made in abundance in massive stars?
No, iron is not the heaviest element made in massive stars. Massive stars produce elements through nuclear fusion in their cores, creating heavier elements than iron, such as lead, gold, and uranium. Iron is often referred to as the endpoint of nuclear fusion in massive stars because the energy required to fuse iron exceeds the energy output of the reaction.
Why is the fusion of iron a problem for a star?
Unlike all lighter elements, fusing iron consumes more energy than it produces. Once a star's core starts iron fusion it stops producing energy and collapses. The collapse then blows away the outer layers of the star in a massive explosion called a supernova.
Is iron a compound mixture element?
Iron is an element, and is the heaviest element that may be made by fusion in a Star such as our Sun.
Is iron compound mixture elements?
Iron is an element, and is the heaviest element that may be made by fusion in a Star such as our Sun.
Where is iron made mostly from?
Iron is fused within a star's core. When sufficient iron has accumulated and it begins to fuse, the energy of that fusion is too great and the star explodes creating all the heavier elements.up ya bum
When was The Iron Star created?
The Iron Star was created in 1930.
How many pages does The Iron Star have?
The Iron Star has 356 pages.
What are facts about iron?
The element symbol for iron is Fe.Iron is a transition metal.Iron atomic number is 26.1535 degrees Celsius is iron's melting point.ALL iron was made in the core of a star which exploded.Iron is magnetic.Iron and steel are the worlds cheapest and most useful metals.etc.
Why can iron fusion not support a star because of iron?
Iron fusion cannot support a star because iron is the most stable element and cannot release energy through fusion reactions. This causes the star to collapse, leading to a supernova explosion.
What is Venus made up from?
Venus is a terrestrial planet orbiting the star Sol. It is composed mainly of sulfur, carbon, and iron.
What is the heviest element that can be made in stars center?
While it is still a star? Iron. Everything heavier must be fused from lighter elements in a supernova explosion, which blows the star apart.
What are iron pipes made of?
Iron pipes are made of iron.
What is iron pipes made of?
Iron pipes are made of iron.
Why don't high mass stars rekindle after collapsing?
They do. Each time their cores run out of the current fuel, they undergo gravitational collapse, heat up and start to fuse the next element in the sequence. Each time this happens the core gets hotter and the surface of the star expands (making red giants). Eventually the element Iron (Fe) is made in the core and at this point the star dies because you can not fuse Iron into anything heavier and get energy out - all elements heavier than Iron absorb energy as they are made. Thus as soon as a ball of Iron is made in the star's core there is no energy there to fight the pull of gravity and the core shrinks to become a superdense ball of neutrons or if the star is very massive a black hole. As this happens the star explodes as a supernova.
