This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.

How is helium formed from hydrogen?

It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.


What is the process called in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy?

The process is called nuclear fusion. It occurs in the core of stars, including our sun, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.


Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?

Hydrogen atoms are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, hydrogen isotopes (such as deuterium and tritium) combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Oxygen atoms are not typically involved in nuclear fusion reactions to produce helium.


An atom of helium has a mass about four times greater than that of an atom of hydrogen Which choice makes the correct comparison of the relative numbers of helium and hydrogen atoms in equal masses o?

An equal mass of helium would contain fewer atoms compared to hydrogen, as each helium atom is four times heavier than a hydrogen atom. This is because the atomic mass of a helium atom is roughly four times that of a hydrogen atom.


What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the suns core?

Normal "main sequence" stars fuse hydrogen into helium during most of the star's life. The core of a star gets so hot that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together. As hydrogen only has 1 proton when if fuses with another hydrogen atom it has 2 protons so has become helium.

What the core of the Sun made out of?

The sun consists of hydrogen and helium atoms. The hydrogen atoms combine in a process called nuclear fusion, releasing energy and creating helium atoms.


What are the atoms called that powers the sun and other stars?

The sun and other stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen atoms combine by nuclear fusion resulting in helium.


What atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?

The sun fuses hydrogen atoms to produce helium atoms in its core through a process called nuclear fusion. This process generates a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains life on Earth.


The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?

Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.


How is helium formed from hydrogen?

It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.


Which has the least number of atoms 5g of hydrogen or 10g of helium?

10g of helium has fewer atoms. This is because the atomic mass of helium is much higher than that of hydrogen, so the same mass of helium contains fewer atoms than the same mass of hydrogen.


Do Hydrogen and helium atoms make up fifty percent of atoms in outer space?

Hydrogen and helium make about 98% of the atoms in the solar system !


In stars energy is produced as primarily hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
