Carbon, mainly. Two helium nuclei make beryllium-8, which normally decays practically instantaneously back into the helium nuclei, but if a third helium nucleus hits it first it will make the stable carbon-12. More helium can then be added to make oxygen, neon, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, argon, calcium, titanium, chromium, iron, and finally nickel before the process becomes endergonic.
Yes, radiation is produced in the sun as a result of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core. These reactions convert hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Around 24% of the ordinary matter in the universe is thought to be helium. The Big Bang theory supports this by explaining how helium was formed in the early universe through nuclear fusion reactions when temperatures were high enough to convert hydrogen into helium.
Not much to speak of. There is no significant amount of nuclear fission going on in the Sun.
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
Oxygen has 8 protons, helium has 2 protons. To convert oxygen to helium, 6 protons has to be lost by nuclear disintegration which is not possible.
In the cores of stars, nuclear reactions convert helium to heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen through processes like fusion. This conversion of helium to heavier elements releases energy and is essential for the life cycle of stars.
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.
Helium will be converted to metals, which is the name astronomers give to elements heavier than helium.
False. In the sun's core, nuclear reactions convert hydrogen into helium through the process of nuclear fusion. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and heat, which is not converted into mass.
The heat of the sun comes from nuclear fusion reactions in its core. These reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
Yes.... The sun is a star, so it produces its own light by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
In a star's nuclear reactions, hydrogen is converted into helium. This process, known as nuclear fusion, occurs in the core of a star, where high temperatures and pressures cause hydrogen atoms to combine to form helium.
In the sun, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. This process is the transformation of nuclear energy into thermal and electromagnetic energy.
Using helium in nuclear reactions.
nuclear fusion!!
Yes, it is possible to artificially produce helium through nuclear reactions, such as in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators.
The end product of nuclear reactions in the Sun's core is helium. Hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium through a process called nuclear fusion, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
