I'm guessing here, but I think you are asking about nuclear fusion. in that case, what happens when a hydrogen atom hits a helium atom? Not much. Fusion would require two hydrogen atoms. What would happen when two hydrogen nuclei hit together? If the pressure and temperature were high enough, the two hydrogen nuclei would fuse, creating an atom of helium, along with a high explosive force and an extremely high release of heat.

If a particle hits a gold nucleus in a head-on collision?
If a particle hits a gold nucleus in a head-on collision, the two would come to a rest for a very brief moment and then the particle would bounce straight back. This is describing a hypothetical situation proposed for Rutherford's gold foil experiment where he confirmed a small positively charged nucleus was present in atoms.
What happens when a gas molecule hits fire?
Let's change this: what happens when gas hits fire? One molecule isn't enough to do anything. A fire needs three things to burn: fuel, oxygen and heat. If you hit a fire with a gas, one of three things can happen to the fire, depending on what gas you used. If you used a fuel gas, the flame will increase in size if there is enough additional ambient oxygen to react with the added fuel. (If your fire is in free air, there will be.) What happens to the molecule depends on what specific fuel gas it is. If you're burning hydrogen, it will combine with oxygen and become water. If you're burning a hydrocarbon, it will split up; the carbon will become CO2 and the hydrogen will become water. If you use inorganic fuels - ammonia and hydrogen peroxide are both flammable - you will get whatever reaction product that molecule will give you. If you used oxygen, the flame will also increase in size. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but fires require oxygen to burn so adding oxygen will make the fire burn better. If you used a nonflammable gas like carbon dioxide, it can do several things. It could shield the flame from oxygen or cool it, either of which will put the fire out.
How does the uranium and plutonium react in the nuclear reactor?
To set off a fission reaction (the reaction that occurs in a nuclear reactor), a person must first pump a neutron into a heavy nucleus. So if a neutron is pumped into a uranium or plutonium nucleus capable of undergoing fission, the nucleus splits in two, and releases more neutrons, which hit more nuclei, which in turn send out even more neutrons, thus setting off a chain reaction where every time a neutron hits a nucleus, the nucleus splits in two and sends out more neutrons.
Sodium with water?
A violent nature of all the alkali metals. The annoyance (that loose electron attached to the outer shell of every sodium atom) will cause the sodium to be highly reactive, and when it hits water, the reaction generates hydrogen gas by ripping the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms that form the water chemical compound. The immense heat generated by the reaction causes the hydrogen gas, which itself is highly flammable, to catch fire, this causing that big explosion and fire and also at that time fusing hydrogen atoms created by the reaction along with oxygen you are breathing in right now to form water.
What metal burns in water?
sodium, potassium, rubidiumSodium reacts very quickly with water. All Alkali metals, the first column of the periodic table excluding Hydrogen (H), react violently with water. The lower the row, the more explosive the reaction.
What gases are on Uranus?
Hydrogen, Helium, Methane, and methane ice Methane Looks Blue When Sunlight Hits It
What happens to the nucleus when a neutron hits it?
When a neutron hits the nucleus, it can be absorbed by the nucleus, causing the nucleus to become unstable and possibly undergo radioactive decay. This process can lead to the release of energy, emission of radiation, or transmutation of the nucleus into a different element.
Can you find a nucleus on its own in nature?
Yes, but you really don't want to. The only nucleus that can be found in nature is the alpha particle, emitting through nuclear decay. This is the nucleus of a helium atom and when it hits, you, it steals two electrons and ionizes your skin. This causes radiation burns.
What happens when a neutron hits water?
When a neutron hits water, it interacts with the atoms in the water molecules. It bounces around, and transfers energy, much like a billiard ball. As a result, it loses energy and is slowed down. This makes water an excellent moderator for nuclear power plants, causing the neutron to slow down to the thermal range where it can interact with subsequent uranium or plutonium atoms. It is also possible that a water molecule (oxygen or hydrogen atom) can absorb the neutron, causing change in isotopic identity, fractioning the water molecule into radioactive oxygen and hydrogen.
What are the planet Uranus gases made out of?
Uranus is made of 82.5% of molecular hydrogen ,15.2% helium 2.3 % methane ,and also known to have hydrogen deuteridexist with possible aerials of ammonia ice ,water ice ,ammonia hydro sulfide and methane ice
What are the steps in the process of nuclear fusion in the sun?
Two hydrogen atoms at extreme speed/heat merge into one helium atom with the loss in mass converted to heat, light and energy in form of waves. This is typical fusion. There are a few other theoretical fusions involving helium and higher order atoms.
What is a nuclear source of the sun's energy?
The nuclear source of the sun's energy is hydrogen fusion. When the last of the remaining hydrogen is fused into helium, the sun will start fusing the resulting elements until it hits iron, at which point the fusion reactions will end. Larger stars will go farther down the periodic table before blowing themselves apart.
What do nuclear reactions convert helium to?
Carbon, mainly. Two helium nuclei make beryllium-8, which normally decays practically instantaneously back into the helium nuclei, but if a third helium nucleus hits it first it will make the stable carbon-12. More helium can then be added to make oxygen, neon, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, argon, calcium, titanium, chromium, iron, and finally nickel before the process becomes endergonic.
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particle directly hits the positively-charged nucleus?
When a positively-charged alpha particle directly hits a positively-charged nucleus, it experiences a strong electrostatic repulsion due to the like charges. This repulsion can cause the alpha particle to be deflected away from the nucleus, preventing it from penetrating further. If the energy of the alpha particle is high enough, it may overcome the repulsive force, resulting in nuclear reactions or the emission of radiation, but typically, it is repelled.
What happens to a meteor after it hits?
After it hits, it comes to a standstill.
