Sentences with phrase «like oxygen and hydrogen»

When neutron particles collide with hydrogen and oxygen particles, some of the kinetic energy from the neutron is transferred to the water molecule, much like a cue ball hitting another billiard ball of the same size.

Presumably, the strong stellar wind emitted by giant stars eventually blows the titanium oxide out of the star's outer regions (along with hydrogen and helium gases and dust made of elements and molecules like carbon) into interstellar space, until vigorous convection brings out more titanium and oxygen that are created from nuclear processes deeper in the star.

C. Carreau, ASPERA - 4 & MAG teams, Venus Express, ESA Annotated image illustrating loss of hydrogen through plasma wake Venus may have lost oceans of water due to a runaway greenhouse effect which evaporated water into the upper atmosphere, where ultraviolet light dissociated water into ionized atomic hydrogen and oxygen (some later incorporated into carbon dioxide) that were blown away by the Solar wind due to the lack of a strong magnetic field like the Earth's (more).

While elements like oxygen, silicon, magnesium, and iron are much heavier atoms than hydrogen or helium, they are just not abundant enough to make a significant contribution on their own.
