During nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei combine to form a different nucleus. When light nuclei fuse to produce a nucleus lighter than iron, energy is released (exothermic). When heavy nuclei fuse to produce a nucleus heavier than iron, energy is absorbed (endothermic). The release or absorption of energy relates to the difference in total mass of the reactants and products by E=mc^2. Nuclear fusion powers the Sun and other stars.
Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more. We provide teachers with tools and data so they can help their students develop the skills, habits, and mindsets for success in school and beyond. Khan Academy has been translated into dozens of languages, and 15 million people around the globe learn on Khan Academy every month. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we would love your help!

Sir please cover whole chemistry of class 11th and 12th. I like your teaching sir . Please!

[@rananjanabandara2376]

Next video want to be about nuclear fission

[@C.G.O.Iddamalgoda]

I needed this right now thanks 😊

[@sinekonata]

Stars the size of the sun don't have the energy to collapse into supernovae, they collapse into white dwarves and then continue fusion into iron spheres then cool off.

[@merlepatterson]

When it coms to fusion, gravity is the key primary ingredient.

[@pandpp3144]

It so fun i like sciene thank you for teaching❤

[@sudevnarayan1074]

awsome very helfull

[@sinekonata]

8Be is actually unstable. Very fast it splits back into 2 alphas again. But 8Be is used in the triple alpha process in big stars for the short time it doesn't decay to fuse with another alpha and produce 12C.

[@sinekonata]

The only stable isotope of Be is 7Be I think.

[@webocampo]

I want the next video to be about space pls

[@superpie0000]

❤❤

[@sinekonata]

So a Joule is actually a gm²/s²?

[@chlodnia]

Thanks

Let's make some noise for the man "Mahesh Shenoy"

[@MrYellowAndYacello]

Wait.... is that the voice of FloatHeadPhysics!?!

[@Mahesh_Shenoy]

Yus!

[@je_suis_une_pomme]

isn't it positron decay and not beta decay? 10:03

[@christinejackson6630]

Positron emission is a type of beta decay.

[@MrYellowAndYacello]

This type of beta decay is called “Beta-plus decay”, it's a nuclear process in which a proton decays into a neutron, positron, and neutrino.

[@maltreser6084]

Where did the Big Bang come from?

[@maltreser6084]

And where did the source of that source come from..

[@rachidazala4093]

a bigger power@@maltreser6084
