There are two ways of extracting energy from hydrogen atoms. One is chemical, and the other physical.
Chemical:
Combine hydrogen and oxygen to create water. This needs some heat, but a match is enough to get it started. This is the process that is used in hydrogen fuel cells.
Physical:
MASH two hydrogen atoms together to make helium. This requires enormous ammounts of energy to start. It is the basic process that makes the sun warm, and it is also the basis for a hydrogen bomb.

If there are two atoms of oxygen and four atoms of hydrogen before the reaction what will be true after the reaction?
Two water molecules and a release of energy. This is how fuel cells work.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
Acids are compounds that dissociate in water and release what?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
Where do all-stars including your sun get their energy from?
Stars get their energy from the nuclear fusion of (primarily) hydrogen into helium, causing a release of binding energy, manifest as thermal energy, light, and radiation in several different forms.
When hydrogen changes into helium does it explode as fiery energy?
The fusion of two hydrogen atoms yielding a helium atom expels a large amount energy.
What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?
The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
What kind of atom is fused with hydrogen to create energy on your sun?
Hydrogen: the mutual fusing of H atoms into Helium, with consequent release of energy.
What energy has sun fusing helium atoms in hydrogen and release energy?
Nuclear fusion is a process where multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release of energy. The nuclear fusion process is responsible for the fusion of helium of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in the core of the sun.
What is happening in the interior of a star?
fusion. Hydrogen atoms fuse together deep in the core to form helium atoms and release energy
If there are two atoms of oxygen and four atoms of hydrogen before the reaction what will be true after the reaction?
Two water molecules and a release of energy. This is how fuel cells work.
The Sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into atoms in its core.?
Yes it does. It produces helium by fusing hydrogen
What prosses gives the sun its energy?
The sun gets its energy from the process of fusion, where hydrogen atoms are fused together in the high temperatures and pressures of the Sun's core to produce helium atoms and release energy in the form of gamma rays..
In stars energy is produced as hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
Does gravity make the sun's heat and light?
Yes. The sun is often cited as an example of energy from fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. You might consider then that this is "simple" physical chemical reaction between these atoms. However hydrogen does not combine to make helium under normal conditions. What it takes is that the hydrogen atoms are squeezed together by the massive gravity of the sun until the nucleus of each atoms essentially touch and unite to form hydrogen and release energy in the process. In short the Sun is able to convert energy from gravity into light.
In stars energy is produced as primarily hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
How do they know this is how the sun gets its energy?
The 98% mass of sun is made of hydrogen, which is at extremely high temperature. At such a temperature the hydrogen atoms fuse in one another to form helium atoms and in the process release an enormous amount of heat and light energy. This energy is millions of time more than the energy produced by the combustion of coal. This process is called nuclear fusion.
