Yes, fusion reactions involve the merging of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, typically resulting in the production of a larger nucleus. This process releases energy in the form of radiation and is responsible for powering stars, including our own Sun.

What are the particles for the nuclear fusion in stars?

A variety of different fusion reactions are possible. In our sun, which is classified as medium sized, it is fusion of hydrogen nuclei, ie protons, to form helium. In larger stars, especially red giants, larger nuclei react in fusion, so that larger and heavier nuclei get formed.


What does the fusion of hydrogen nuclei in sun produce?

The fusion of hydrogen nuclei in the sun produces helium, along with energy in the form of light and heat. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is the source of the sun's energy.

Small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei


What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.

Why is fusion only possible with small nuclei and not with larger nuclei?

Fusion is only possible with small nuclei because larger nuclei have stronger repulsive forces between their positively charged protons, making it harder for them to come together and fuse. Small nuclei have weaker repulsive forces, allowing them to overcome this barrier and fuse together to release energy.


What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?

The process of combining nuclei with small masses to form a nucleus with a larger mass is called nuclear fusion. This occurs in stars where intense heat and pressure overcome the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged nuclei, allowing them to fuse together. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.


What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?

Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.


Small atomic nuclei are combined into larger ones known as?

Quarks- subatomic particles that make up nucleons


What is the combining of two small nuclei to produce heat and one larger nuclei called?

Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two small nuclei to produce heat and one larger nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same process that powers the sun and stars.
