What is used to produce new synthetic elements by bombarding atomic nuclei with high speed protons or neutrons?
Particle accelerators are typically used to produce new synthetic elements by bombarding atomic nuclei with high speed protons or neutrons. These high-energy collisions can cause the nuclei to combine and form heavier elements.
How is it possible to induce a nuclear reaction?
Not by chemical means. A nuclear reaction can be induced by bombarding the nucleus with neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, high velocity nuclei from a particle accelerator, or cosmic ray particles. Neutrons are most effective at causing nuclear reactions as they have no charge and are reasonably massive.
Where cosmic ray are produced. can you produce it artificially or not?
By definition a cosmic ray is from the cosmos, so the artificial production of one might have to go by some other name. However, it would be possible to create its equivalent in a particle accelerator by accelerating a charged particle to relativistic speeds. Cosmic rays are not electromagnetic radiation as the name might suggest but are high speed atomic nuclei - primarily hydrogen nuclei (protons) helium nuclei (alpha particles) and smaller amounts of heavier nuclei.
Are atomic nuclei very dense?
Yes, atomic nuclei are extremely dense. They contain positively charged protons and neutrons packed tightly together in a small volume, which gives them a high density. This dense packing of particles is what helps hold the nucleus together through strong nuclear forces.
Why must protons collide at such high speeds to fuse into deuterium?
Protons must collide at high speeds to overcome their electrical repulsion caused by their positive charges. The high speeds provide enough kinetic energy to bring the protons close enough together for the strong nuclear force to then overcome the electromagnetic force and bind them into deuterium.
What devices that move atomic nuclei at extremely high speeds is?
Particle accelerators are devices used to move atomic nuclei at extremely high speeds. These accelerators use electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles such as protons or electrons to nearly the speed of light for research in physics, medicine, and industry.
How is a particle accelerator used to synthesize new elements?
they move atomic nuclei faster and faster until they have reached very high speeds
Hydrogen nuclei collide at high speeds to form helium nuclei this reaction is called?
Fusion
What is fusion process?
The high energy combination atomic nuclei.
What is the name of the reaction when hydrogen nuclei collide at high speeds to form helium nuclei?
It's a nuclear fusion reaction
What are the devices use by car manufacturers to increase the airflow at high speeds?
Those devices are hood scoops.

What is the binding energy of iron and how does it impact the stability of atomic nuclei?
The binding energy of iron is the energy required to hold its nucleus together. Iron has a high binding energy, making its nucleus stable. This stability is important for the overall stability of atomic nuclei in general.
Where does fusion and fission take place?
Fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, where extremely high temperatures and pressures allow atomic nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and merge. Fission reactions are generally carried out in nuclear reactors, where heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium or plutonium are bombarded with neutrons to split into smaller nuclei and release energy.
Why is extremely high pressure required to cause atomic nuclei to crash into one another stars?
Extremely high pressure is required in stars to cause atomic nuclei to crash into one another because the nuclei have positive charges, which repel each other due to the electromagnetic force. The high pressure overcomes this repulsion, allowing the nuclei to come close enough for the strong nuclear force to take effect, resulting in nuclear fusion and the release of energy.
