The most common oxygen isotope is °0, but the rarer isotopes O and 10 of this element also exist in nature. These less common isotopes are stable, and measurements of their abundances have proved crucial in many fields of scientific research. For example, in climate research studies, the ratio of 180 to 0 measured in natural What distinguishes two different isotopes of an element is the number of neutrons contained in their nucleus. How many protons and neutrons are there in the nucleus of the heavier oxygen isotope, O? Let Z be the number of protons (the atomic number) and N the number of neutrons. Separate your answers with a comma. waters, as well as in polar ice, can provide useful information on the precipitiation history in a given area. This is because water containing 0 evaporates less readily, and condenses more easily as precipitation, than water containing 10. • View Available Hint(s) ? Z, N =

Nuclear Fusion

Nuclear fusion is a type of nuclear reaction. In nuclear fusion, two or more than two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. During this process, an enormous amount of energy is released. This energy is called nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the sun and stars.

Fusion Bomb

A fusion bomb is also known as a thermonuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb which releases a large amount of explosive energy during a nuclear chain reaction when the lighter nuclei in it, combine to form heavier nuclei, and a large amount of radiation is released. It is an uncontrolled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction where isotopes of hydrogen combine under very high temperature to form helium. They work on the principle of operation of atomic fusion. The isotopes of Hydrogen are deuterium and tritium, where they combine their masses and have greater mass than the product nuclei, get heated at high temperatures, and releases energy.
