i have a few questions about nuclear fusion....
by the way please keep your answers simple as, much as i would love to, i'm afraid i do not study physics
and please refer to the question you are answering in your reply
Q.1. 'The fusion of two nuclei with lower masses than iron generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron absorbs energy' - does this mean that the lighter you get, the more energy is released? (and visa versa when heavier than iron)
Q.2. in the case of iron does it release or absorb energy?
Q.3. in hydrogen fusion, does it work if you use H-1?
Q.4. if 'yes' to question 3, does it release more, less or the same amount of energy? and does it release radiation?
Q.5. if 'yes' to question 3, what are the products?
Q.6. if 'no' to question 2, why not?
Q.7. does helium fusion work with He-4 and if so does this release radiation? and what are the products?
