An astronomer is a guest speaker at your school. She states that iron is the very last product in stellar fusion. Why would she

say that? Why wouldn’t elements in stars fuse to make larger atoms than iron?
select one:
a. The star’s core has no more room left in the interior to fuse larger nuclides

b. It takes much more heat than the star has in its core to fuse iron with another atom.

c. Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

d. Iron is a metal, and metals cannot undergo fusion.

Iron is the very last product in stellar fusion is that; Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

The stability of an atom is dependent on the binding energy per nucleon of the atom.

The binding energy per nucleon of elements increases steadily until iron, we can see that from the curve very easily.

Beyond iron, we have exceeded the region of stable binding energy per nucleon of atoms. The atoms after iron in the curve are mostly unstable heavy nuclei.

What happens to an electron when it emits a photon
Flura [38]

Answer:

when electron emit the radiations it means it jumped to the lower energy level from higher energy level.

Explanation:

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

The process is called de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

  Any type of electromagnetic energy's wavelengths that are shorter than a type of electromagnetic energy's wavelengths is to the left of that type of electromagnetic energy on the diagram.  Hence, the wavelength of a type of energy decreases as you progress to the left on the diagram and left of the green light (in the visible spectrum).
