The sun is composed of what?
The sun is composed mostly of hydrogen (about 74%) and helium (about 24%), with smaller amounts of other elements like oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
Explain the role of helium in stars?
Helium is an important element in stars as it is a byproduct of nuclear fusion, the process that powers a star. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing energy in the process. This energy generation is what allows stars to shine and sustain their existence.
What are the 3 main fuels stars us for fusion?
The three main fuels stars use for fusion are hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of heavier elements like carbon and oxygen. In the core of stars, hydrogen fuses into helium through a series of nuclear reactions, releasing energy in the process. This fusion process powers the star and allows it to shine.
What are the gases found in the sun?
The main gases found in the sun are hydrogen and helium. These gases are primarily responsible for the sun's energy production through nuclear fusion reactions at its core. Other gases present in smaller amounts include oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.
What are the 2 main elements in stars?
All stars are comprised of around 98% hydrogen and helium, of which approximately 3/4 is hydrogen.This is also true of all the matter in the universe as a whole.While stars contain some amount of pretty much every element, they are made primarily of hydrogen and helium.
Which element combines with oxygen to form water Helium Hydrogen Carbon or Uranium?
Hydrogen
Which atom is the heaviest helium uranium lead iron Hydrogen?
Uranium atom is the heaviest.
What produces sun's energy?
Nuclear fusion of Hydrogen to Helium is what produces the Sun's Energy. this takes place in the core. Later when it becomes a Red Giant it will fuse Helium to Carbon
How would you rank the nuclear fuels in order of being consumed from first to last with the following fuels carbon hydrogen and helium?
First it should be emphasized that hydrogen and helium are not primary energy sources. They are named as secondary energy sourcesCarbon from coal has limited resources as any fossil fuel (although coal is more abundant than oil and natural gas)As for the nuclear fuel, the uranium mining is not the only source for the nuclear fuel. Other sources are:as by product from phosphate and gold production industrythe dismantling of nuclear weaponsusing nuclear breeder reactorsuranium production from water (Japanese R&D)The availability of uranium for uranium fuel persuades some scientists to consider nuclear energy as one of the renewable energy sources.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
What elements are likely be formed by the sun at some time in its life a helium and carbon b iron and uranium c hydrogen and iron d carbon and lead?
A. Helium and carbon. The other heavier elements such as iron, uranium and lead will be created only in the explosions of supernova stars, such as the one discovered just last week (late May, 2011).
The sun is composed of what?
The sun is composed mostly of hydrogen (about 74%) and helium (about 24%), with smaller amounts of other elements like oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
What is the difference between a carbon atom and a uranium atom?
I won't even waste the time looking up actual numbers.a mole of atoms of helium is about 4 grams, therefor 1 gram of helium is about 0.25 moles of helium atomsa mole of atoms of uranium is about 238 grams, therefor 1 gram of uranium is about 0.0042 moles of uranium atomsA gram of helium contains more atoms than a gram of uranium by about a factor of 60.
What is a noble gas hydrogen helium or carbon?
helium is a noble gas
What are some element examples?
Sulphur, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Xenon, Neon, Nitrogen, Helium, Magnesium, Lead, Copper, Iron, Plutonium, Uranium, Iodide, Carbon, Californicum, etc.
When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?
When hydrogen stocks run out
What elements are heavier than hydrogen?
All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.
