Theoretically, yes, it could be split into 2 of the Deuterium isotype (1 proton, 1 neutron). However this would generate colossal energy, as the process is similar to that of an atomic bomb, only on a smaller scale (uranium has a lot more protons and neutrons to split).

How does hydrogen occur?

When two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.


What atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?

The sun fuses hydrogen atoms to produce helium atoms in its core through a process called nuclear fusion. This process generates a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains life on Earth.


How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?

The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.

How many different types of atoms are in helium?

Helium is an element, so it is made of only one type of atom.


What is nuclear fusion in the Sun?

This is the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms, and in some cases heavier elements as well. The dominant reaction in our Sun is the combining of hydrogen isotope atoms to form helium atoms. Deuterium atoms, which are hydrogen atoms which have a neutron, are forced together to form a helium atom, which is two protons and two neutrons, and some energy is produced. The Sun is slowing using up its supply of hydrogen, but there is enough to last for at least another two or three billion years.


How many helium atoms does water contians?

Water is chemically H2O and there is no helium (He) in water. Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.


How is the formula for hydrogen different from the formula for helium?

I am unsure what you mean by the formula for Hydrogen and Helium because both are an element, not a compound and you would generally not have a formula for an element. However, I can tell you that the difference between the formula for Hydrogen gas and Helium gas if; Hydrogen gas: H2 H-H Helium gas: He Hope this helps


What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the suns core?

Normal "main sequence" stars fuse hydrogen into helium during most of the star's life. The core of a star gets so hot that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together. As hydrogen only has 1 proton when if fuses with another hydrogen atom it has 2 protons so has become helium.


What is created when two hydrogen atoms fused together?

Hydrogen atoms have one proton in their nuclei. When two hydrogen atoms fuse together they make one helium atom that contains two protons in its nucleus. This is called nuclear fusion, which powers the stars in the universe.


How many helium atoms does water contain?

Water has no helium (He) atom. Chemically water is H2O and there is no He atom present in water.
