CNO Cycle in HSC (1 Viewer)

[Jord_o]

Can I expect to detail all of the individual processes involved in the CNO cycle, with their equations?

 

[Life'sHard]

Yeah I think so or at least know the general cycle. The syllabus dot point is quite vague.

Probably safer to just memorise the 6 reactions

Yeah, I'm not too sure if it's required to know it - but I've just memorised the CNO cycle, p-p chain and Triple Alpha process just in case. I've never seen a question where they ask to write the reactions in any of the practice papers I've done so far, but it should still be considered as possibility for it to appear somewhere just to be safe.
