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 else can I help you with?
What is the appearance of hydrogen its pure form at room temperature?
the apperence of hydrogen is colourless, with a hexogonal crystal structure
How many isotopes of hydrogen are know?
There are three known naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen; hydrogen-1 with one proton and no neutrons, hydrogen-2 with one proton and one neutron, and hydrogen-3 with one proton and two neutrons.
What chemical is made when hydrogen burns?
When hydrogen burns, it combines with oxygen to form water (H2O).
What would a world be like without hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Without hydrogen, no other element could exist, and so matter as we know it couldn't exist. Essentialy, the universe as we know it wouldn't exist without hydrogen!
In what two groups does hydrogen form ionic compounds?
Acids and Hydrides? Not 100% sure about Acids, i do know that Hydrides are right though.
How do you know Deuterium is made up of hydrogen?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, as opposed to the usual hydrogen isotope which only has one proton and no neutrons. This difference in atomic structure is what distinguishes deuterium as a form of hydrogen.
What element has 1 neutron and 2 electrons?
The mass number is the sum of the number of neutrons and protons. If we already know that there is one neutron and the mass number is two, then that means there is one proton. Any atom with one proton is hydrogen. This particular isotope is called deuterium.
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" .
Where do the neutrons come from when hydrogen turns into helium in nuclear fusion?
In fusion engines we call stars, protons, which are hydrogen nuclei, are forced together and fused to create helium. This happens in early stellar life with the small- to medium-sized stars. When the protons are forced together, the first step involves fusing a pair of protons together with the weak interaction or weak nuclear force mediating the change of a proton into a neutron. Deuterium, or heavy hydrogen, is created. When deuterium reacts with a proton and the pair of particles are fused, a helium-3 nucleus is formed. From there, the reaction possibilities increase and we view what could occur along branches. This is the proton-proton chain reaction that is the basic process in stellar nucleosynthesis. The key to understanding these reactions is the knowledge of the ability of a proton to transform into a neutron through mediation by the weak nuclear force.
Is the nebular hypothesis made out of helium and hydrogen?
If you have studied hard in life science you should know this but the real answer is that yes the nebular hypothesis was made by helium and hydrogen..
How do you know what stars are made of?
they are made of helium and hydrogen scientists know this becuz of a spectrometer
How are atoms of hydrogen different from atoms of helium?
i dont know blaa
Why do starts need helium?
stars* and they don't need helium they make helium from hydrogen using nuclear fusion omg im 13 and i know this
Elements created by nucleosynthesis?
The only element that was formed in the big bang was hydrogen. However, in this compact and extremely hot area it was possible for nucleosynthesis to occur. For about three minutes, helium and a small amount of lithium (plus a smattering of deuterium, tritium and beryllium) were produced. After about three minutes, the Universe had cooled sufficiently to halt this process. Any other elements would be produced in a stars core or a nova/supernova explosion.
What compounds contain helium?
Helium is a noble gas and typically does not form compounds with other elements due to its stable electron configuration. However, in extremely rare cases, helium can form compounds with highly electronegative elements under specific conditions, such as with fluorine to form helium difluoride (HeF2) or with oxygen to form helium oxide (HeO2).
How can sun burn?
It does NOT burn. The Sun is so hot, about 5500 Celsius at the surface and 16 million at the core that only gas and hotter states of matter can exist there. There is no flammable material there and if you know, 98% of gas there are hydrogen and helium, so there isn't enough oxygen there for things to burn. So how does it shine? Deuterium and Tritium Hydrogen Atoms, those found in hydrogen bombs, merge to form helium, an energetic neutron and energy in the source of light and heat. So many reactions take place that the sun is converting 4 billion tonnes of hydrogen into helium and vast amounts of energy every second, sending vast amounts of light, heat over the 15 billion kilometer journey from the sun right to earth. Hope I helped.
How is the nucleus in a hydrogen different from one in helium?
**Quick and Dirty** Hydrogen has one proton and Helium has two protons and two neutrons. **Long winded version** HYDROGENS: There are also 3 types of Hydrogen-like atoms: Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium. We have three types of Hydrogen atoms because we define Hydrogen itself as one proton and one electron. But if you add one neutron to the mix, then the electric properties of the atom do not change and so it is still Hydrogen, but we call it Deuterium. If you add one more neutron to the mix, then we call it Tritium; but again the electric properties stay the same. We have different names because there is a difference in nuclear properties, namely neutron count but also half-life. The half-life of hydrogen and deuterium is ad infinitum (to infinite), because they are stable and have not yet been reported to decay on their own. But the half life of tritium is 12.32 years. This is rather short, but not too short; it means that it is unstable, but still useful and can be stored. This all shows that the Proton + Neutron and Proton only states are stable but that adding a second neutronn, without adding a second proton, makes the nucleus unstable. HELIUM: Helium can be considered a tritium atom plus a hydrogen atom. It has 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. The nucleus by itself (no electrons) is called an alpha particle because it was experimented before we knew what helium was. ELECTRIC PROPERTIES: Another big difference between Hydrogen and Helium is the electric properties. Helium is the most stable atom that we know of. This means that it will not share or give up it's electrons for any reason; very selfish. But Hydrogen is constantly looking for a second electron to complete its first valence shell. As a result, hydrogen will covalently and ionically bond with almost anything! That's why it is so reactive (and known to be explosive).
