What else can I help you with?
What do you call it when two or more atoms are touching?
If actually 'touching', I would think it was nuclear fusion. Two or more, sharing electrons would be an element or molecule, depending on the atoms.
How does nuclear fusion compare to a reaction involving two hydrogen atoms combining to form a hydrogen molecule H2?
Nuclear fusion is the coming together of two nuclei to form a different element whereas the combining of two hydrogen atoms to form H2 gas is just a chemical reaction where a covalent bonds form between two hydrogen atoms. Nuclear fusion involves combining of two nuclei whereas in the covalent bond formation the electrons of the hydrogen atoms interact with each other.
Can atoms of different elements can join to form larger atoms?
Yes. Atoms can combine to form larger atoms in a process called nuclear fusion. This is what powers the sun.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
Atoms are merged to produce this type of energy?
Nuclear energy.When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion. When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission.
What can be done with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion occurs in stars with different result under different circumstances. The heat and light from the sun results from the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. Nuclear fusion has been used to make bombs, as is well known, in a process similar to the sun's production of heat and light. It happens, however, that all elements heavier than hydrogen are thought to exist as a result of fusion processes. And we can make atoms of different elements synthetically by nuclear fusion processes. For example, the first atoms of copernicium were made by fusing zinc and lead atoms. Nuclear fusion can be used to generate neutrons. The fusor is a device that uses fusion to make neutrons. Neutrons have a variety of uses, especially in the creation of certain isotopes which have a variety of purposes, including medical use.
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What do you call it when two or more atoms are touching?
If actually 'touching', I would think it was nuclear fusion. Two or more, sharing electrons would be an element or molecule, depending on the atoms.
What are the main types of nuclear energy?
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
What is the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
How does nuclear fusion compare to a reaction involving two hydrogen atoms combining to form a hydrogen molecule H2?

Can atoms of different elements can join to form larger atoms?
Yes. Atoms can combine to form larger atoms in a process called nuclear fusion. This is what powers the sun.
What's the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
Who studies fission and fusion atoms?
a nuclear physicist.
What kind of nuclear power is responsible for sunshine?
The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms, releasing energy in the process. This nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core is what produces sunlight and heat.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
