What element is used more in making balloons?
Helium is a gas used to inflate lighter than air balloons.
Can the sun shoot lasers?
No, the sun does not shoot lasers. It emits energy in the form of sunlight through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in its core fuse to form helium. Laser beams are man-made devices that use stimulated emission of radiation to produce a highly focused beam of light.
What is a very light gas found in some balloons?
Helium is used in blimps and balloons. It is the second lightest element to hydrogen, which is not used because it is highly flammable.
What is the chemical symbol for helium?
The chemical symbol for Helium is He.Some elements have fancy mystic symbols. Ones for lead, iron and mercury were used in alchemy.These elements have been known for along time, Helium is a recent discovery. Since the use of Alchemy was replaced with the study of Chemistry several hundred years ago, no one bothered to invent a Helium "mystic symbol" and put it into Alchemy texts. If you meant to ask where the name comes from, it comes from Helios, the Greek name of the place where helium was first shown to exist (spectroscopically) -- in the sun.
What does nuclear fusion do on the sun?
The nuclear fusion in the sun smashes hydrogen atoms together. The atoms do not combine easily and the fusion (combining of two atoms) can only happen under tremendous pressures by the weight of the material (the gravitational pressures of the star due to its large mass). Here are the steps. 1. Two pairs of hydrogen protons to form 2 deuterons (a hydrogen isotope) 2. Each deuteron fuses with an additional proton of hydrogen to form helium-3 3. Two helium-3 nuclei fuse to create beryllium-6, but this is unstable and disintegrates immediately into two protons and a helium-4 4. the two protons, together with other hydrogen protons, can then form 2 deuterons and the process starts again. Whenever the fusion takes place, mass is "destroyed" as the result is energy which is released through radiation. The above method is the primary nuclear reaction in our sun. There is also an alternate method which larger stars use called the CNO cycle, but it requires a much larger mass than our sun (about 50% larger) to initiate.
What does helium use?
It uses gas from the sun.
Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
How do you use the word element in a sentence?
Each of oxygen and nitrogen is a chemical element.
What is helium and What is its use for?
its the 2nd element on the periodic table and it makes things lighter, such as helium balloons, which float as helium is lighter than air
What is helium primary use or function?
To provide an inert atmosphere, that will not condense. Helium is the least reactive element. Helium also has the lowest boiling point of any element at 6K ( -267 o C) .
Where can I find helium?
you find helium gas as a by product from the sun .you also find it in a form of alpha particle . but the form we often use today is found in the atmosphere but it only 0.005 of our amothsphere is helium gas because a lot of the helium gas flouts away.
What is the use for the element for helium?
blowing up balloons making your voice funny
What does the sun use as it's source of energy?
The main source of energy of the sun is the fusion of hydrogen to helium.
What is the gas element safe to use in balloons?
HELIUM
What element is used more in making balloons?
Helium is a gas used to inflate lighter than air balloons.
Which process does the Sun use to produce energy?
The conversion of Hydrogen into Helium (nuclear fusion).
What is the source of the sun energy?
The sun shines because some of the nuclear energy is transformed into radiant energy. Enormous compression due to gravity and extremely high temperatures in the deep interior of the Sun fuse the nuclei of hydrogen atoms together to form helium nuclei. This is called thermonuclear fusion (a process that releases radiant energy, a small part of which reaches Earth).
