Why transition metal is also called heavy metal?
Transition metals are often referred to as "heavy metals" due to their high density compared to other elements. They have large atomic masses and many of them are toxic. However, it is important to note that the term "heavy metal" is also used to describe a group of elements with specific properties related to their electronic structure, not just their weight.
Why do heavy elements neclei contain proportionally more neutrons than light element nuclei?
Heavy elements contain more protons, which repel each other due to their positive charge. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus by adding nuclear binding energy without adding additional electrostatic repulsion like protons do. Therefore, heavy nuclei tend to have more neutrons to help balance out the increased number of protons.
What is the two elements named for large regions?
Americium and Europium are the elements named for large regions which include several countries.
When does a mudflow occur?
A mudflow occurs when a large amount of water causes rapid erosion of loose soil or rock material on a slope, resulting in a mixture of mud, rocks, and debris flowing downhill. This often happens after heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or during a volcanic eruption.
When two nuclei of light elements are forced together at extremely high temperature what happens?
When two nuclei of light elements are forced together at extremely high temperature, they can undergo nuclear fusion, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
What happens when heavy rain falls on earth?
Heavy rain? As in pouring? It will come as droplets and hit a surface, then it will splatter and spread, usually to a .75 inch diameter for a large raindrop.
What happens when large amounts of nutrients are released into surface water?
an algal bloom-(:
How light elements and heavy elements formed differently?
The formation of the elements is a nuclear process that usually happens in stars. The core of the star is hot enough and has enough pressure to overcome the electric repulsion of the atomic nuclei and literally fuse the nuclei together. This process happens over and over again, but seems to stop at a certain mass. It appears that elements heavier than iron cannot be formed in the core of a star. These elements require more extreme conditions. The heavier elements on the Periodic Table (after Fe) are formed in supernova. These nuclei require tremendous energy to form, this energy must come from an event as large as a supernova.

What happens when large sudden rock movements occur along a fault line?
Energy is released and earthquakes happen.

What has happened to the amount of iron during the last 14 billion years why and what is happening now?
There are two processes that change atoms from one element to another - fusion, which happens in stars, converts light elements to heavier ones. Radioactive decay happens to very heavy, radioactive elements into lighter elements. Iron is the midpoint of the two processes. Very large stars will not just fuse hydrogen into helium, but also helium into carbon, and then oxygen, nitrogen, and finally iron. Ultimately, because iron is the most stable element, the amount of iron in the universe is increasing, and will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.
What happens when a Red Giant explodes?
When a Red Giant explodes, it undergoes a supernova event, where the star releases a tremendous amount of energy in a short period. This explosion can produce heavy elements and spread them into space, enriching the surrounding region with these elements. The core of the star can collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.
What is a sentence with the word heavy in it?
She was carrying a large, heavy box. African elephants are very heavy!
