A hydrogen nucleus is just a proton, which is denoted in particle physics by p.

Nuclear scientists will occasionally adopt the standardized isotope notation, even for hydrogen, especially when fusion reactions are being written. Hydrogen is then written like this:

11H or just 1H

although the notation p+ is often used as well.

The other isotopes of hydrogen are almost always written in their isotope form. However, you'll still occasionally find them written in their classical way.

Deuterium - 2H or sometimes D

Tritium - 3H or sometimes T

Is hydrogen hydrogen helium alpha decay?

No. Hydrogen atoms combining to form helium is nuclear fusion. Alpha decay is a process whereby a large atomic nucleus ejects a helium nucleus.


Can hydrogen be broken down by fission?

No. Hydrogen is the simplest and lightest element with the nucleus consisting only of a single proton. There is no smaller nucleus you can make. The only nuclear reaction hydrogen can undergo is fusion into helium.


what does nuclear fusion between two helium nuclei form?

what forms hydrogen nucleus


Is nuclear symbol for helium the same symbol for a proton?

No the hydrogen nucleus is a proton. The helium nucleus is an alpha particle.


What is the chemistry background of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion is based on the helium nucleus synthesis from two hydrogen atoms at very high temperatures.


What is the term for a symbolic method of expressing the composition of an atomic nucleus?

The term is nuclear notation or nuclear symbol. It is a shorthand way to represent the composition of an atomic nucleus, indicating the chemical element symbol, mass number, and atomic number of a particular nucleus.


Why does the sun continuously burn?

It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.


How is the strong nuclear force affects the composition of a nucleus?

Holds the nucleus together. Without it, the only existing atoms would be hydrogen and stars wouldn't work.


Where can neutrons be found?

Neutrons are available in all element nuclei except hydrogen nucleus. It can be obtained through specific nuclear reactions and through nuclear fission.


Where does nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium occurs?

Within the atomic nucleus, two hydrogen nucleii (single protons in only this case) fuse to form a single helium nucleus. On The Larger Scale this occurs always in Stars.


What is the nuclear notation of an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons?

The nuclear notation of an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons would be written as carbon-13, denoted as 13C. This indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.


Can fission take place in the nucleus of hydrogen atom?

No, it cannot. Fission is the "splitting" of an atom, and a hydrogen atom will not fission. Some hydrogen atoms have a neutron stuck to the proton in their nucleus. Some even have two neutrons stuck to that proton. These neutrons can be "knocked loose" in something like a nuclear chair reaction in a weapon. The neutrons then can contribute to the building of the nuclear chain reaction. But fission doesn't happen to hydrogen.
