What is true about the balance of mass in a fusion reaction?
In a fusion reaction, the total mass of the reaction products is less than the total mass of the initial reactants due to the conversion of mass into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This difference in mass is known as the mass defect, and the lost mass is converted into energy during the fusion reaction.
What is given off as a by product of a fusion reaction (two things)?
During a fusion reaction, such as the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to form helium, the primary byproducts are helium nuclei (alpha particles) and a significant amount of energy, often released in the form of gamma rays. Additionally, neutrons may also be produced, depending on the specific fusion reaction taking place.
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
What type of reaction occurs when a thermonuclear bomb explodes?
A fusion reaction.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
This type of nucleus is formed during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei.?
A helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle, is formed during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four hydrogen nuclei.
What type of nucleus is during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei?
During a solar nuclear reaction, the type of nucleus formed by the fusion of four nuclei is a helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is responsible for the energy production in the core of the Sun.

What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.

How do the products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fusion reaction?
Fusion is a process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus, while fission during fusion a small fraction of the reactant mass is converted into energy. While not the only possible fusion reaction, the most commonly known is the fusion of hydrogen to create helium. The product is stable. In contrast, when fission of uranium or plutonium takes place, the resultant nuclei are neutron heavy and therefore will almost certainly be radioactive.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
During nuclear reaction two protons change into what?
In the nuclear fusion process in the sun, two protons change into a proton and a neutron, plus also a positron and a neutrino. This is part of the synthesis of helium and release of energy which powers the sun. You can see the complete chain of reaction at the link below
