Is fusion an atomic process that is used to produce energy?

Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.


How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?

a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.


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.


In nuclear fusion what atoms are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses?

In nuclear fusion, atoms of hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses. The fusion reaction involves the combination of these hydrogen isotopes to form helium, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process.


What is used in power plants Fission or Fusion?

Fission is commonly used in power plants as the process of splitting atoms generates heat to produce electricity. Fusion, which involves merging atoms to release energy, is not yet commercially viable for power generation due to the challenges in controlling and sustaining the reaction.

What is a cervical fusion used to treat?

Cervical fusion is used to treat inflammation of the cervix. Doctors are hesitant to use cervical fusion because of it is an innovative process that has yet to get tested. Cervical fusion is an alternative to laser surgery that has become an acceptable form of medical process.


What is one obstacle that is used in nuclear fusion?

temperature/pressure needed to start reaction.

What is called when hydrogen atoms condense to make helium?

This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.


What is nucleur fusion used for?

with the help of controlled fusion we can produce fusion power which can be used to produce electricity.with the help of nuclear fusion ,hundreds of neutrons generators are produced annually for use in the petroleum industry where they are used in measurment equipment for locating and mapping oil reserves.nuclear reaction is responsible for providing powers to stars.


What is the type of energy used in the process of fusion on the sun?

That is called nuclear energy.
