Hello!

The process in which hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements is called Nuclear Fusion.

Nuclear Fusion happens when the repulsion between the two nuclei is overcome by the Strong Interaction Force, spending and releasing high amounts of energy.

The two nuclei need to be close enough for Nuclear Fusion to happen, and the energy needed to achieve that is given by the extremely hot temperatures that exist within stars (about 15 000 000 Kelvin). That's why this kind of reactions are common in stars. 

Have a nice day!

What electrically neutral atom will have an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p4?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:- oxygen.

Explanations:- The electronic configuration is given and we are asked to figure out the electrically neutral atom that will have the electron configuration, 1s^22s^22p^4 .

The sum of electrons for this electron configuration is 8. If we look at the periodic table then 8 is the atomic number of oxygen.

So, the electrically neutral atom for the given electron configuration is oxygen.

In this lab, you will use the flame test to identify the metal ion in two boxes of unidentified fireworks. Write an investigativ
Rasek [7]
In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis. 

<span>Following are the investigative question that you can answer by doing this experiment.
</span>1) What information can be obtained from the colour of flame?
2) <span>State the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?
</span><span>3) Can you identify the metal present in unknown sample provided?
4) How will you identify amount of metal present in sample solution?
5) </span><span>Why do different chemicals emit light of different colour?</span><span>

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.

Which of the following correctly describes a property of an atom?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

it has an equal number of neutrons and electrons

Explanation:

Number of protons always equal number of electron, but that's the case with a neutral atom. A neutral atom is an atom of any element that has no electric charge over it. This implies that it has same number of protons and electrons in it.
