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.
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.
The nuclear fusion of a helium-3 nucleus and nuclide X releases an alpha particle and a positron Identify nuclide X?
The nuclide X would be tritium (hydrogen-3). In the described fusion process, a helium-3 nucleus and tritium combine to form a stable helium-4 nucleus along with the release of an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) and a positron.
What has the Atomic nucleus at fewest protons?
helium with 2 proton Hydrogen has 1 proton.
How many different types of atoms are in helium?
Helium is an element, so it is made of only one type of atom.
How is the nucleus of hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.
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.
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.
Which is lighter - helium or hydrogen?
Helium is lighter than hydrogen. Helium has an atomic number of 2, which means it has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, making it lighter than hydrogen, which has only one proton in its nucleus.
What are the Nuclear fuels of one solar mass stars over the course of its entire evolution?
At first, such a star will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4; later, it will convert helium-4 into heavier atoms, up to about iron.
What does the sun convert into helium?
Hydrogen Nuclei
By what process do you convert hydrogen to helium?
nuclear fusion!!
What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear fusion converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. In the fusion process, hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.
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.
How are hydrogen nuclei different from helium nuclei?
The main difference is that hydrogen nuclei have 1 proton whereas helium nuclei have 2 protons. The number of neutrons depends on the "isotope". Usually, a hydrogen nucleus does not have neutrons and is simply a proton. The helium nucleus usually has 2 neutrons.
Are hydrogen-3 and helium-3 isotopes of the same element?
No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.
