Question

Suppose a scientific team is trying to re-create the energy producing reactions that occur in the sun. What would they need for the experiments?

A. hydrogen atoms
B. hydrogen atoms, helium atoms, heat, pressure, and energy
C. helium atoms and energy
D. helium atoms and hydrogen atoms

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. "hydrogen atoms".

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy producing reactions that occur in the sun take place by a process known as nuclear fusion or the proton-proton chain. Basically, tons of atoms of hydrogen are being converted into helium, which releases heat and energy. If a scientific team is trying to re-create the nuclear fusion of the sun they would only need hydrogen atoms, since the fusion of the hydrogen atoms is the reaction that produces helium atoms, heat and energy. However, the scientist team must recreate the tremendous gravitational forces of the sun to produce the nuclear fusion of hydrogen.

Answer 2

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice. The things that we would need are: hydrogen atoms, helium atoms, heat, pressure, and energy. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
