How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
What process describes one helium atom from four hydrogen atoms?
Hydrogen fusion is the creation of helium by fusion of hydrogen. It sometimes goes by the term proton-proton chain reaction. Two protons and two neutrons are fused in this reaction to create the helium nucleus. Wikipedia has particulars and a link is provided.
What primary atomic reaction occurs within the sun that converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms?
Its called as nuclear fusion. The nucleus of hydrogen atoms fuse together and form helium nucleus. There is some difference of the two masses resulting it to become energy by Einstein's formulae e=mc^2
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
What fusion in stars occurs to create the element helium?
Hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion in the core of the sun to form helium.
What nuclear reaction happens between hydrogen and helium in the sun?
Nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen-1 is fused into helium-4.
How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
What type of gas combines to form helium?
hydrogen combine to form helium by nuclear fusion reaction
What is the sun's energy reaction?
It is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium
How does the sun produce its own energy source?
fusion reaction of helium and hydrogen

Nuclear reaction in the sun's interior convert?
Nuclear fusion converts hydrogen to helium

Do stars give off light as a part of a nuclear fusion reaction in which helium atoms are split into hydrogen atoms?
No. In a fusion reaction, a heavier element is made of a lighter pair by "gluing" them together in a fusion reaction. When we split an atom, that's called atom splitting, or sometimes fission, not fusion. They are opposites. Stars give off light, but the primary fuel in their fusion engines is hydrogen, which they convert into helium. As the hydrogen burns out, the star begins making helium into carbon.
Describe the reaction that produces the suns energy?
It is a fusion reaction in which the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse and form helium.
Where does fusion of hydrogen to helium most commonly occur?
In stars. As far as I know this is the only place.
