How does the sun get energy?
The sun is a hydrogen fusion machine. It forces atoms of hydrogen together to form helium. The slight economy of being in the helium atom format is released as energy which is released from the sun as light and heat. See Link
When the sun burns hydrogen helium it makes what?
The sun is on the Main Sequence, fusing hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei and release substantial quantities of energy.
Why is sun give off tremendous amount of energy?
The sun gives tremendous energy because when two hydrogen atoms meet them energy is formed and one helium atom is form
Does the sun's energy come from electromagnetic energy?
The sun's energy comes from the nuclear fusion taking place in its core in which two hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom.
The plasma form of this element is found in the Sun?
Well I believe there is approximately about 60 elements in the sun but I do know 2 of them--hydrogen and helium. ___________________________ The Sun is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium and 2% "other elements" .
In a star atoms combine to form helium atoms?
Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
How do you know that a deuterium is a form of hydrogen not a form of helium?
Deuterium has 1 proton, and therefore an isotope of Hydrogen. Remember the number of protons is what changes the atomic number, and what element a atom is. When tritium and deuterium react under immense pressure and heat they form Helium (and omits a neutron) This is the most basic example of nuclear fusion.
What is the process called that converts two hydrogen atoms to a helium atom?
Nuclear fusion is the process in which an atom is combined with another atom and a certain amount of neutrons to form a larger atom. For example, two hydrogens and two neutrons fusing to form a helium.
What is nuclear fusion reaction of stars?
Hydrogen atoms react to form a helium atom at 14.10e6 K.
When are hydrogen and helium form?
Hydrogen and helium are formed in Sun.
Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element what?
Helium, The hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, atomic number 2 and mass number 4. In the illustration, the gray spheres represent neutrons and the orange are protons. The number of protons in the nucleus of any atom determines the identity of that atom. In this case two protons indicate element #2 or helium. This fusion reaction, which occurs in the sun and other stars, also produces an additional neutron and energy.
Which gas is produced by nuclear fusion?
If you refer to the fusion in stars, 4 atoms of hydrogen-1 combine to form one atom of helium-4.
How can you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
Look at the Atomic Number in the Periodic Table. Hydrogen, for instance, is 1, while Helium is 2. That is the number of protons. The number of electrons will, in general, be the same, except when the atom is in ionic form, such in for Sodium and Chlorine in a solution of salt water.
What kind of change is hydrogen to helium?
nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium
The source of the sun energy is?
Nuclear fusion for example two hydrogen atoms collide to form a helium atom and energy
What happens during hydrogen fusion?
Hydrogen Gas is squeezed so tightly that 4 hydrogen nuclei are combine to form one helium atom, creating an intense amount of energy.
What combines to form helium atoms in a star?
Helium atoms in a star are formed through the process of nuclear fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms combine through a series of fusion reactions to form helium atoms. This happens when hydrogen atoms collide and fuse together, releasing energy in the process.
