What happens when two light elements collide to undergo nuclear fusion?
When two light elements collide to undergo nuclear fusion, they combine to form a heavier element and release a large amount of energy in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
Is hydrogen a fission or fusion?
Hydrogen undergoes fusion, not fission. Fusion is the process of combining lighter elements, like hydrogen, to form heavier elements and release energy. Fission, on the other hand, is the process of splitting heavier elements into lighter ones.
Why can the fusion of iron into heavier elements not support a star?
The fusion of iron into heavier elements cannot support a star because it requires more energy than it produces, leading to a loss of energy and the collapse of the star.
In a nuclear reaction energy is release by the combination of two elements into a new element is the process of what?
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.
The binding together of two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called?
The process of binding together two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same reaction that powers the sun and other stars.
What is fusion Is it a chemical?
Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called what?
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called nuclear fusion.
What happens during a fusion?
Atoms of a 'lighter' element collide and 'stick' together to make a heavier element. The most notable reaction, takes place in stars. Where Hydrogen fuses to make Helium, in the process energy is produced. Further fusion then takes place, to make other elements
What happens when heavier elements are formed by fusion then a massive star expands?
yes as heavy elements are used for fuel the star expands this is what will happen to the earth it will swell to a red giant engulfing the inner 3 planets as it slowly dies
What is the element that forms last in nuclear fusion in stars?
Existing element is product of nuclear fusion, heavy element exist from over fusion and thus create high atomic mass substance. To answer what is the element that is form last in nuclear fusion in star is the same as asking what is the heaviest element occur or found in nature. Base on what is in periodic table. The heaviest element found naturally is around Uranium - Plutonium thus it could be considered the last product known in nuclear fusion in star. There are heavier element than Uranium and Plutonium but those are synthesize element. Nuclear fusion might go to element heavier than what is known in our periodic table but those substance may be unstable and decay over time until none of those exist.
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

What are the differences of fission and fusion?
Fission is the process of taking a heavy element and splitting it into two or more smaller elements. Whereas fusion is the process of forming a heavier element by fusing two or more smaller elements.
What happens when two light elements collide to undergo nuclear fusion?
When two light elements collide to undergo nuclear fusion, they combine to form a heavier element and release a large amount of energy in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
What is fusion in the stars?
Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
Who makes arsenic?
Arsenic is an element. It is made (like all elements heavier than helium) by fusion reactions inside stars.
What happens in a fusion reaction?
Two nuclei fuse together to form another element
What does it mean when something is referred to as a heavier element?
A heavy element is an element that based on the amount of metal that is in the element. Some can base the description of a heavier metal on the number of atoms but it is the amount of metal in the element.
