This is called nuclear fusion, meaning that the nuclei of the atoms fuse to form a new nucleus (with a different number of protons and neutrons). So a totally different element is the result of the fusion.

Also, energy is usually released in the process, which could be in the form of wave emission or particles ejected at high speeds.

What happens if atom loses electron?

When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.


Are all atoms molecules?

No atoms are molecules! An atom is singular A molecule is more than 1 atom bonded together


Atoms that are made of more than one atom are examples of?

First of all, I think you meant molecules that contain more tham one kind of atom. These are called compounds. The two different elements are fused together chemically, and cannot be separated easily. Compounds should not be confused with mixtures, which are physically combined and can be separated.


Do Molecules consist of only one atom or more than one atom?

A molecule always consists of 2 or more atoms, otherwise they would just be atoms.


Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?

Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.


Which reaction used for nuclear power plant. fission or fussion?

Nuclear fission. Larger atoms are broken into smaller parts and energy is released. Nuclear fusion is where lighter atoms are fused together - as happens in the sun. This also produce energy, though much more.


How is a molecule differ from an atom?

Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.


What are fused heterocyclic compounds?

Fused heterocylic compounds is a heterocylic compound (eg. Furan) fused with another ring which can be either a carbon ring (benzene) or can be fused with another heterocylic ring(Pyridine,Pyrrole,...etc). Fused heterocyclics can be either 2 fused rings,3 rings or more. From the famous examples on fused heterocylic compounds: -Heroin -Indole -Morphine -Carbazole

What happens in the electron shells when one atom combines with another to form a compound?

When two (or more atoms) join to form a compound, they actually join by sharing electrons.
