The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to what?

The nucleus of a helium atom is identical to an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.


What has two protons and two neutrons and is identical to a helium nucleus?

An alpha particle, one of the possible emissions in radioactive decay.


Is an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a?

An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of Helium atom


What particle is identical to an alpha particle?

The nucleus of a helium-4 atom is an alpha particle. When an alpha particle, which is two protons and two neutrons, is released in nuclear decay (alpha decay), it will zip out with a lot of kinetic energy. But it will quickly slow down and pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and "become" a 24He atom.


Why helium atom is the nuclear emission of the alpha radiation?

Both have 2 protons and 2 neutrons


What is the process called that converts two hydrogen atoms to a helium atom?

Nuclear fusion is the process in which an atom is combined with another atom and a certain amount of neutrons to form a larger atom. For example, two hydrogens and two neutrons fusing to form a helium.


Which of the Following statements about helium atom in the sun and helium atom on earth false?

Both helium atoms in the sun and on Earth have the same properties, as they are identical in terms of their atomic structure and behavior. The only difference is in the environment in which they exist.


What is nuclear fusion reaction of stars?

Hydrogen atoms react to form a helium atom at 14.10e6 K.


What atom makes the Sun shine?

There is no atom that makes the Sun shine. The Sun is essentially a giant nuclear reactor primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Nuclear fusion occurs in the sun fusing hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy as heat and light.


Where does the sun gets energy from and goes to light and heat?

The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce light and energy. the process is relatively complicated but simplified it looks something like this. step 1: hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom = deutrerium atom (an isotope of hydrogen (one extra neutron)) + positron + neutrino step 2: Deutrerium atom + hydrogen atom = helium 3 (an isotope of Helium (missing one neutron)) + energy step 3: helium 3 atom + helium 3 atom = helium atom + hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom + energy.
