The only place in the universe where nuclear fusion can occur on its own is in the interior of stars.
After closely observing nature, and adapting its laws to fulfill human requirements,
our advanced civilization has succeeded in creating nuclear fusion at will, on a small
scale. Unfortunately, the only useful application successfully developed so far with our
superior intellect is the construction of nuclear bombs and weapons.
What else can I help you with?
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
The thermonuclear fusion that occur in the sun is a process involving?
In this process, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4. Energy is freed up in the process.
What type of reaction occurs when a thermonuclear bomb explodes?
A fusion reaction.
Why a hydrogen bomb is called a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is called so because it mainly relies on the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to release energy. The fusion process is what distinguishes it from an atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission.
What is the source of the light shown in the solar system?
It all comes from thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen inside the sun.
What is thermonuclear fusion takes place?
It simply means that thermonuclear fusion happens.
The suns heat is produced by?
thermonuclear fusion and hydrogen becoming helium... :)
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
Does the layer of fire on the sun occur in the suns core?
There is no fire in the sun, that is a chemical process. The process in the core is thermonuclear fusion.
Thermonuclear fussion occurs mainly where?
Mainly in stars, although some is seen in the secondary of a thermonuclear weapon.
The thermonuclear fusion that occur in the sun is a process involving?
In this process, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4. Energy is freed up in the process.
What element is created during thermonuclear reactions?
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
What nuclear energy is the sun powered by?
thermonuclear fusion
How did polaris produce energy?
By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What changes a protostar to a a full fledged star?
thermonuclear fusion
What happens with fusion of heavier element?
When heavier elements undergo fusion, they release energy in the form of light and heat. This process can only occur in extreme conditions, such as the high temperatures and pressures found in stars or during a thermonuclear reaction. Fusion of heavier elements can lead to the formation of even heavier elements and can release a tremendous amount of energy.
What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
