No. Nuclear fusion will convert hydrogen to helium and, at higher temperatures, oxygen into silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen.
What process is responsible for the production of tremendous heat of the sun?
Nuclear fusion, specifically the proton-proton (P-P) chain, is responsible for more than 98% of the Sun's energy. Less than 2% of the Sun's energy is estimated to come from the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Fusion Cycle, because the Sun is not massive enough to depend on the CNO cycle.
What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
How can the sun live when a fire needs oxygen to survive?
The sun is not a fire... it is nuclear fusion being conduct with the hydrogen particles colliding together. So basically once the sun runs out hydrogen it will explode.
What nuclear process coverts helium and hydrogen gases from lighter to heavier elements?
The process is called fusion; hydrogen nuclei are fused together to make helium. At much higher temperatures and pressures, the helium can fuse into carbon and nitrogen and oxygen.
Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen.
How can humans change hydrogen to oxygen?
We cannot. Stars can change hydrogen into helium and then helium into oxygen via nuclear fusion, be humans cannot generate and contain the forces necessary to fuse these elements.

How come the sun can survive in without oxygen?
The sun is not burning like a true fire. It is powered instead by nuclear fusion, which uses hydrogen.
Is oxygen the fusion in the interior of the sun?
No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun
How is oxygen formed with nuclear fusion?
Oxygen is formed in stars by fusion of Hydrogen with Nitrogen. There are various ways this is done, involving various isotopes. There are links Wikipedia, below. The first deals with the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycles, and is specific to this question. The second is more general.
What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
Explain the role of helium in stars?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen produces helium and energy at the cost of some mass following the conversion rate e=mc^2
How can the sun live when a fire needs oxygen to survive?
The sun is not a fire... it is nuclear fusion being conduct with the hydrogen particles colliding together. So basically once the sun runs out hydrogen it will explode.
If there was no oxygen in the sun would it blow up?
No. Oxygen has nothing to do with how the sun works. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion of hydrogen in its core. The outward force of thermal pressure is balanced by the inward force of gravity.
Stars combine Hydrogen to make Helium during nuclear fusion. Living things are made of heavier elements like Carbon Oxygen Iron and Calcium. How did these elements form?
