The technology doesn't currently exist to get reasonable amounts of energy from hydrogen fusion. It is hoped, however, that Deuterium - which is much easier to fuse than normal hydrogen - can be fused some time in the foreseeable future.

The problem is that the hydrogen (or deuterium) would have to be heated to something like 100 million Kelvin (or Centigrade), and maintained at that temperature for a few seconds at least - and at a high pressure, too.

How is energy created in the center of the sun?

By nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium


Why is the sun's energy generated in the center and not from its surface?

The sun is powered by the fusion of hydrogen and helium in it's center. The heat in the center of the sun, and the pressure in the center, is great enough to cause the fusion to happen.


What happens to the properties of oxygen when it bonds with hydrogen to form water?

With two doublet Two free electrons Oxygen is nucleophilic center "aggressive" Who Attack All electrophilic center. THERE are almost No free oxygen. Oxygen practically present as O3, O2, H2O, With An order of decreasing stability. So we can say That Oxygen LOSES some of its Reactivity (in term of energy). Example the combustion reactions between the oxygen and the hydrogen formed in the water there is a loss of energy as heat.


What kind of energy do you petroleum and contain?

Petroleum contains chemical energy that is released when it is burned to produce heat and power. This energy comes from the carbon and hydrogen molecules present in petroleum.


How can conserving energy helps prevent shortages?

If you save energy you can't have a shortage because if a shortage is about to happen the energy that you save will take over the energy that is running out.


The recent energy shortage indicates?

the need for conservation.


What happens in the center of the sun create the energy that travels to earth?

The energy is created by fusion which occurs at the center of the sun. fusion occurs when the hydrogen atoms at the center of the sun are compressed so tightly that they reach a temp of 15 million degrees or so. then a nuclear reaction ac cures and the hydrogen turns into helium. this process creates a lot of heat and light etc, which we use to live.


What is the energy source for hydrogen?

How would photosynthesis be affected if there were a shortage of NADP plus in the cells of plants?

ok, so, NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion. so if there was a shortage it wouldn't be able to run through the cycle of photosynthesis.


What is at the center of your solar system and what is it made of?

The center of our solar system is the Sun, which is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium. These elements undergo nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, producing light, heat, and energy that sustains life on Earth.
