"Gravity is the glue that causes diffuse matter between the stars to slowly collapse and form new hydrogen-fusion machines (aka stars)," says University of Connecticut astrophysicist Cara Battersby. "It is the glue that binds galaxies together and it is responsible for our own Earth orbiting ar...
is established. Iron cannot be fused into heavier elements, as this would require more energy than the process would produce, so when all the star’s nuclear fuel has eventually transformed into iron, no further fusion can take place and the star collapses. This might leave a solid iron ...
Is the atom the smallest part of matter? A particular radioactive isotope has a half-life of 200 years. How long will it take this isotope to give off all of its radiation, reaching a stage of becoming non-radioactive? Complete the following nuclear equation: ___ \to \; _{7}^{14}...
What is fusion? Fusion occurs when two light atoms bond together, or fuse, to make a heavier one. The total mass of the new atom is less than that of the two that formed it; the "missing" mass is given off as energy, as described by Albert Einstein's famous "E=mc^2" equation....
b) fusion c) chemical d) ionic Isotopes: This question features hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The numbers in the name represent the mass number (number of protons and neutrons). As a result, isotopes...
What is fusion? Fusion occurs when two light atoms bond together, or fuse, to make a heavier one. The total mass of the new atom is less than that of the two that formed it; the "missing" mass is given off as energy, as described byAlbert Einstein'sfamous "E=mc^2" equation. ...
As it is shown in the first part of this short essay, duality plus conservation laws allow the violation of Bell’s inequalities for any spatio-temporal separation. To dig deeper into particle dualism, in the second part, a class of models is proposed as a working framework. It encompasses...
Nuclear fusion is the process of forcing together two light atomic nuclei and creating a heavier one, releasing massive amounts of energy.
Water, for example, is the compound H2O, meaning two hydrogen atoms combined with one oxygen atom forms one molecule of water. To fully understand matter let's look at the atom. It is now generally accepted that atoms are made up of three particles called neutrons, protons, and electrons....
This is the basic way of evalulating ΔS for constant-temperature processes such as phase changes, or the isothermal expansion of a gas. For processes in which the temperature is not constant such as heating or cooling of a substance, the equation must be integrated over the required temperatu...
