When two helium atoms combine, they form a molecule of helium gas (He2), which is also known as a dihelium molecule. This molecule is quite rare and unstable under normal conditions, as helium typically exists as a monoatomic gas.

Why does helium filled balloon float up when it is released?

Because the helium is lighter then the sorrounding airBecause the balloon PLUS the gas in it weights less than the volume of air displaced by the balloon.


What does the combination of Americium plus helium yields?

The combination of Americium and helium does not yield any specific compound or reaction that is commonly known. Americium is a radioactive element and helium is an inert gas, so they are unlikely to react with each other under normal conditions.


How is the atmosphere of Uranus different from that of Saturn?

Uranus has more hydrogen and less helium than Saturn, but both atmospheres are similar.Saturn's atmosphere: Hydrogen 75%, Helium 25%, plus tiny amounts of other gases.Uranus' atmosphere: Hydrogen 83%, Helium 15%, Methane 2% plus tiny amounts of other gases (acetylene and hydrocarbons).That uranus atmosphere is smaller and saturn's is biger


What type of radiation has a mass of 4 amu and a 2 plus charge?

Alpha radiation, which is the same as helium-4 nuclei.


Hydrogen plus hydrogen helium?

When two hydrogen atoms react, they can combine to form helium through nuclear fusion. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy and is the basis for the power source of the sun and other stars.


What atomic particle has two protons and two neutrons?

Any atom with two protons has an atomic number of two and is an isotope of helium. With two neutrons, there are a total of nucleons is four, so the isotope or mass number is four (sum of protons plus neutrons). Therefore the atom is helium-4 or 4He, which is stable (not radioactive) and the most common isotope of helium in nature, account for nearly 100% of all helium.


What does nuclear fusion create helium and nuclei from?

There are a lot of ways helium can be created by fusion, but the one most often used to explain fusion is the combination of deuterium (hydrogen with one neutron) and tritium (hydrogen with two neutrons). This fusion creates helium with two protons, plus one free neutron. There is a link below to a section of an article on fusion in which ten different methods of fusing helium are shown.


What is the abbreviation for helium?

He - Helium


What else apart from energy is released during nuclear fusion?

If you fuse deuterium (1p, 1n) with tritium (1p, 2n), you get helium (2p, 2n) plus a free neutron, plus the released energy
