What force keeps the nucleus together?
The strong nuclear force is the force that keeps the nucleus of an atom together. This force is stronger than the electromagnetic force, which tends to repel positive protons from each other in the nucleus.
What reaction in the sun produces energy?
The main reaction in the sun that produces energy is nuclear fusion. This process involves hydrogen atoms fusing together to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
Why don't atoms collapse?
Atoms do not collapse because of the balance between the electromagnetic force, which repels the positively charged protons in the nucleus, and the strong nuclear force, which holds the nucleus together. This balance keeps the atom stable and prevents it from collapsing.
Name two energy resources that do not depend on the sun?
Geothermal energy, generated from Earth's internal heat, does not depend on the sun. Nuclear energy, derived from splitting atoms or fusing them together, is another energy resource independent of solar radiation.
What is a word meaning to join two pieces of metal by means of heat?
Welding is the process of joining two pieces of metal together by heating them to a high temperature and then fusing them together.
What kinds of atoms are fusing or combining together inside the sun?
Hydrogen atoms are fusing into helium atoms in the Sun's core through the process of nuclear fusion. This fusion reaction releases a tremendous amount of energy that powers the Sun and produces light and heat.
The Sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into atoms in its core.?
Yes it does. It produces helium by fusing hydrogen
State of matter that bonds keep together atoms?
The state of matter that keeps atoms together is solid. Liquids and gases allow atoms to break apart from each other.
What is our sun fueled by?
Our Sun, as with all main-sequence stars, is heated by the energy of fusing hydrogen atom to make helium atoms. The gigantic gravity of a main-sequence star causes hydrogen atoms to be smashed together, or 'fused'. The huge heat that results keeps the Sun puffed up to its huge size. In another 4.5 billion years, more or less, the hydrogen will be largely used up, and the Sun will shrink to a point that helium atoms are smashed together, creating lithium atoms. When all the lithium atoms have been largely smashed together and used up, the Sun will shrink again, and beryllium atoms will result.
What is a type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak?
The type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak is the van der Waals force. It is an attractive force between uncharged particles.
Do hydrogen make stars?
technically speaking, stars are first made of Hydrogen. The moment the star comes to life, it starts fusing together Hydrogen atoms, forming helium. when a star is nearing the end of its life, it starts fusing together helium and keeps on fusing until there is nothing more to fuse. then, the star dies.
What is Fusing in garments?
Fusing means to join two pieces of garments together. When garments are fused together, they become more supported and stabilized.
The primary source of energy for the Sun is?
The fusing of hydrogen atoms into helium.
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
What force keeps atoms that share electrons joined?
The force that keeps atoms together when they share electrons is called a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electron pairs in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons creates a strong attraction between the atoms, keeping them joined together in a molecule.
What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?
The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
