What is one type of compound formed by atoms combining called?

A compound formed by atoms combining is called a molecule. This occurs when two or more atoms chemically bond together through sharing or transferring of electrons.


What do you get when you add the following atoms together?

To provide an accurate response, I would need to know which specific atoms you are referring to. In general, adding atoms together typically involves chemical bonding, resulting in molecules or compounds, depending on the types of atoms and their valencies. For example, combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms yields water (H₂O). Please specify the atoms you'd like to add together for a more precise answer.


Where does atomic fusion come from?

I'm not sure what you are asking, but atomic fusion is a process by which two atoms are forced together to form one larger atom. This is the process that drives the sun where it is mostly fusing two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. Fusion reactions can also occur here on Earth in a hydrogen bomb explosion or in a particle accelerator where atoms are smashed together at great velocity and occasionally stick together to form new atoms. This is basically the process by which transuranic elements are created.


How do you combine atoms with another atom?

There are many types of atoms which combine quite easily with other atoms. Anytime you have a fire, something is combining with oxygen atoms. That is the easiest type of combination to bring about. But there are lots of other chemical reactions that can be easily made to happen. Put the right chemicals together and they will react.


A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called nuclear fission.true or false?

False. Combining nuclei to form a new nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus.

What is the combining of atoms called?

The combining of atoms is called bonding. Atoms can bond together through different types of interactions, such as covalent bonds (sharing of electrons) or ionic bonds (transfer of electrons). The type of bond formed depends on the elements involved and their properties.


What is the environment inside the core of a star?

Billions of tons of pressure and heat due to the fusing atoms of Hydrogen and Helium. It does vary from star to star but it is unlivable for anything in the Universe. Not even the Atoms inside survive they get fused together to become a hydrogen helium compound that is not possible to replicate anywhere but the star itself.


The Sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into atoms in its core.?

Yes it does. It produces helium by fusing hydrogen

What keeps atoms from fusing together?

It is the nulei which fuse. Nuclei are positively charged and thus repel each other. The kinetic energy of the nuclei must be very large for nuclei to be able to fuse, such as at the surface of the sun, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.


What is nuclear fusion in the Sun?

This is the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms, and in some cases heavier elements as well. The dominant reaction in our Sun is the combining of hydrogen isotope atoms to form helium atoms. Deuterium atoms, which are hydrogen atoms which have a neutron, are forced together to form a helium atom, which is two protons and two neutrons, and some energy is produced. The Sun is slowing using up its supply of hydrogen, but there is enough to last for at least another two or three billion years.


The primary source of energy for the Sun is?

The fusing of hydrogen atoms into helium.


Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?

Helium atoms


What covalent bonds are their role in combining atoms?

The covalent bonds are their role in combining atoms Is In Your Facee ;D


What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?

in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms


What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?

The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.


Explain what covalent bonds are and their role in combining atoms?

Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds play a key role in combining atoms to form molecules by holding the atoms together in a stable arrangement.
