The process of combining elements to create a new element is nuclear fusion. As we normally consider it, in this process, a great deal of energy is liberated. They are exothermic. But there are types of fusion that are endothermic, though we only encounter them in something like a supernova.

What elements are used in a nuclear reaction?
Usually uranium, can also be plutonium
The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
Is thorium emits a beta particle a chemical reaction?
Thorium chemical because it is an element on the periodic table. However, it can produce a nuclear reaction.
Through which kind of nuclear reaction does the sun produce energy?
Nuclear fusion. Lighter elements such as hydrogen atoms get fused to produce heavier elements such as helium. While doing so enormous heat is produced.
In a nuclear reaction engery is released by the combination of two elements into a new element this process is an example of?
nuclear fusion
Why must a synchrotron be used to create a?
By the intermediate of a nuclear reaction this new element is obtained.Now heavy elements are bombarded with nuclei from other elements.
What does transmutation involve?
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
When energy is released by the combination of two elements during a nuclear reaction what is it called?
You think probable to the energy of fusion.
What do all nuclear fission reactions produce?
All the nuclear fissions produce smaller elements from the larger element and few neutrons so that the fission reaction is continuously carried out.
What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?
Nuclear Fusion.
The last two elements that a massive star produces are hydrogen and helium why is this the last reaction?
The star can fuse up to iron, because iron is the most stable element.
What is fission in physics?
In physics, fission is the process in which a heavy, unstable element is split into two lighter elements by bombarding it with a small particle. Some of the energy that was binding the element's nucleus together is then released, along with a third, tiny particle that is released as well. The tiny particle then collides with another of the heavy elements, causing it to split as well, emitting another particle which collides with another heavy element, and so on. This is the chain reaction that allows for sustainable nuclear power generation, in which the reaction is controlled, or the detonation of nuclear weapons, in which the reaction is uncontrolled.
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
Can an element be changed into a simpler substance?
Only in a nuclear reaction, otherwise no.
What elements are used in a nuclear reaction?
Usually uranium, can also be plutonium
What kind of reactions provide a star with energy?
Stars obtain energy from a reaction called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion causes lighter elements to become heavier elements. The most common reaction fuses hydrogen into helium. But helium can fuse further, to even heavier elements. This releases energy until you reach the element iron. Anything heavier than iron consumes energy, rather than releasing it, when it is formed by nuclear fusion.thermonuclear fusion
