It is the nulei which fuse.
Nuclei are positively charged and thus repel each other. The kinetic energy of the nuclei must be very large for nuclei to be able to fuse, such as at the surface of the sun, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.

What force keeps the nucleus together?
The inter nuclear forces bind the atoms and nucleus together . This force is the cause for the nucleus binded towards the atoms.
Where is the energy in a glucose molecule stored?
The energy in a glucose molecule is stored in the bonds between the atoms.
Which produces the most energy?
Fusing 5 kg of hydrogen
What type of system keeps any additional atoms out and prevents heat from entering or exiting?
"Adiabatic"
What matter are the atoms closely place together?
they are solids
Do hydrogen make stars?
technically speaking, stars are first made of Hydrogen. The moment the star comes to life, it starts fusing together Hydrogen atoms, forming helium. when a star is nearing the end of its life, it starts fusing together helium and keeps on fusing until there is nothing more to fuse. then, the star dies.
What kinds of atoms are fusing or combining together inside the sun?
At the age the sun is now it is still fusing hydrogen into helium.
Why is the amount of hydrogen in the sun decreasing?
The sun is fusing hydrogen atoms together, turning them into helium.
The Sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into atoms in its core.?
Yes it does. It produces helium by fusing hydrogen
What is the combining of atoms called?
It is called Fusing. Or FUSION.
State of matter that bonds keep together atoms?
The state of matter that keeps atoms together is solid. Liquids and gases allow atoms to break apart from each other.
What atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?
The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is a nuclear fusion that occurs at the sun's core.
What force keeps the nucleus together?
The inter nuclear forces bind the atoms and nucleus together . This force is the cause for the nucleus binded towards the atoms.
What is our sun fueled by?
Our Sun, as with all main-sequence stars, is heated by the energy of fusing hydrogen atom to make helium atoms. The gigantic gravity of a main-sequence star causes hydrogen atoms to be smashed together, or 'fused'. The huge heat that results keeps the Sun puffed up to its huge size. In another 4.5 billion years, more or less, the hydrogen will be largely used up, and the Sun will shrink to a point that helium atoms are smashed together, creating lithium atoms. When all the lithium atoms have been largely smashed together and used up, the Sun will shrink again, and beryllium atoms will result.
What is a type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak?
The type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak is the van der Waals force. It is an attractive force between uncharged particles.
The primary source of energy for the Sun is?
The fusing of hydrogen atoms into helium.
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
