What else can I help you with?
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
What substances are used to cause fusion?
Substances known as fuel, typically isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium, are used in fusion reactions. These isotopes are heated to high temperatures to create plasma, where fusion occurs. Additionally, certain elements like lithium can be used as part of the fusion reactor design to enhance the reaction process.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
Which nuclear reaction uses the least expensive materials and produce the least amount of radioactive by-product?
You would probably be talking about nuclear fusion, but it is not available for use and probably won't be for another 50 years, so it's an academic matter. For useful power, fission reactors are the only technology we have, and they all use uranium and produce similar amounts of fission products
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
What is your prediction for the product of this organic reaction?
The product of this organic reaction is likely to be a compound formed from the reactants involved in the reaction. The specific structure and properties of the product will depend on the specific reactants and conditions of the reaction.
What element is most likely to be produced during a nuclear fusion reaction?
helium-4
What is the major problem with fusion reactions as an energy source?
Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.
How do the products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fusion reaction?
Fusion is a process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus, while fission during fusion a small fraction of the reactant mass is converted into energy. While not the only possible fusion reaction, the most commonly known is the fusion of hydrogen to create helium. The product is stable. In contrast, when fission of uranium or plutonium takes place, the resultant nuclei are neutron heavy and therefore will almost certainly be radioactive.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.

What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is an isotope formed in a nuclear reaction likely to be radioactive?
Not necessarily. The fusion reactions in the sun produce primarily helium-4 which is stable.
