Hydrogen and oxygen. On the sun two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are fused at the core which keeps the suns light going and giving it more energy. The result of this is water. H2( hydrogen 2 ) O( oxygen ) h2o

Suppose the pennies represent nuclei of radioactive element what would the heads and tail represent?

In this analogy, the heads of the pennies could represent stable nuclei, while the tails could represent radioactive nuclei. Stable nuclei do not undergo spontaneous decay, while radioactive nuclei have the potential to decay and emit radiation over time.


Which type of nuclei cause energy to be absorbed during nuclear fusion?

Heavy nuclides, greater than iron or nickel, have a negative mass-energy deficit, meaning that it takes more energy to fuse them than would be released by such fusion. That is why only light nuclides, such as hydrogen are realistic candidates for fusion.


Which type of radiation would you look for in a star to demonstrate that nuclear fusion was occurring inside?

You would look for high-energy electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays emitted from the star. This type of radiation is produced during nuclear fusion reactions when light atomic nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei and release energy. Detection of gamma rays can provide evidence that nuclear fusion is taking place in the core of a star.


How do you compare fission and fussion?

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?

That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.

What is the oppoiste of fission?

I am not sure if there is an opposite of fission, where an atom is split in half, but if there was an opposite it would probably be nuclear fusion, where two nuclei join together giving off energy. Nuclear fusion occurs in space, and it is how the sun gives off its energy.

Why in nuclear fusion magnetic fields rather than solid containers are used to confine atomic nuclei that are to react?

Because if the nuclei touches any thing it would fuse with it or destroy it. Making it undetectable and not available for reaction.


What would happen if you combine colored fusion with still fusion into a science beaker?

It would very likely explode, but if you are lucky it will fizz and burn a hole in the beaker. But, do NOT ever combine colored fusion and still fusion into a beaker. The results will always be dangerous.

How are heavy elements formed during nuclear fusion?

This would be a fusion of three helium nuclei. This would happen towards the end of a star's life, it's not occurring in the sun at present, but obviously has happened in various stars in the past, which is why we have the heavy elements in our solar system
