What else can I help you with?
Can matter and space exist in the same place?
Yes, matter and space can exist in the same place. Matter occupies space, so they coexist within the same physical location. The presence of matter within a space gives that space substance and volume.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Why do nuclear reactions take place inside the core of the sun?
Because of the energy source and it can also provide the needed speed for fusion. +++ Not speed. The nuclear fusion of is hydrogen to helium, and it occurs because the core of the star as it developed gained sufficient pressure and temperature for the reaction to start and become self-sustaining. The outer regions of a star are neither hot enough nor compressed enough for fusion to occur.
Where does fusion and fission take place?
Fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, where extremely high temperatures and pressures allow atomic nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and merge. Fission reactions are generally carried out in nuclear reactors, where heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium or plutonium are bombarded with neutrons to split into smaller nuclei and release energy.
What two things are necessary for fusion reaction to take place in a star?
High temperature and high pressure are necessary for fusion reactions to take place in a star. The high temperature is needed to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged atomic nuclei, while the high pressure is needed to confine the high temperature plasma.
How do scientist get energy out of a nuclei?
In what state must matter exist for fusion reactions to take place
Can matter and space exist in the same place?
Yes, matter and space can exist in the same place. Matter occupies space, so they coexist within the same physical location. The presence of matter within a space gives that space substance and volume.
What conditions common to most stars including your sun appear to be necessary in order for fusion reactions to take place?
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?
No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.
What takes place in the center of a star?
Fusion reactions. Hydrogen nuclei are fused to make helium nuclei.(Interesting categories...)
Do chemical reactions take place in living organisms?
No, Chemical reactions only change the physical state of matter. The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, and the atoms of living things are what make you who you are.
What environmental conditions common to most stars including your sun appear to be necessary in order for fusion reactions to take place?
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
What type of reactions take place in the center of the sun?
The reactions that take place on the sun are nuclear fusion reactions. Stars are, after all, giant nuclear fusion engines. On our neighborhood star, hydrogen is being fused into helium in the proton-proton chain. In this reaction, two protons are fused and one of them undergoes a beta decay to become a neutron, producing deuterium. There are a couple of different ways the fusion reactions can go from there, but helium eventually results. The process by which stars "run" is called stellar nucleosynthesis, and you can use the links below to investigate further.
The joining of nucei of small atoms to form larger atoms?
this is fusion nuclear reaction in which smaller elements converted into bigger atoms , such reactions take place with the release of huge amount of energy. when a new star is born such reactions stat to taking place so such reactions continuously tacking place on all the stars or suns.
What fusion takes place in the center of the sun?
Hydrogen fusion occurs in the core of the sun, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions. This process releases a huge amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

Where does Fusion reactions occur in what?
A, the Sun; B, the hydrogen bomb; C, Fusion [tokamak] reactors - not to be "functional" until 2040. _________________________________________________________________
