What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?

Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.

You have to fuse three helium nuclei to make carbon. This can only happen in stars.

∙ 10y agoTwo hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nuclei. The process is called nuclear fusion and it needs very high temperature as in the core of the sun.

When 2 hydrogen nuclei fuse do they make helium?
No, an element depends on the average amount of electrons it has. Actually in stellar nuclear fusion it takes 4 hydrogen nuclei to fuse to make one helium nucleus, the process is called proton-proton burning.
What is the most stable nuclei in the universe?
Helium is the most stable element. All noble gases are "stable", but helium has the least amount of electrons, this causes it to be less affected by London dispersion forces (Vanderwal). This is why helium has the lowest boiling point of all elements.
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.
What is it called when two atoms smash together?
nuclear fission (if the atomic nuclei are broken into smaller lighter elements) nuclear fusion (if the nuclei fuse to form a heavier element)
What element does a star run out of that causes them to die?
Hydrogen and helium; those two elements are the fuel for the stars. First they fuse hydrogen to helium, later they fuse helium to heavier elements.
What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?
Helium
How many helium nuclei fuse together when making carbon?
3
What is the simplest form of fusion that occurs in stars?
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
When is energy in the sun produced?
..particles (nuclei) fuse together to form heavier nuclei. Initially, two protons fuse together (hydrogen atom nuclei) to form deuterium. These in turn may fuse with further protons, or with another deuterium nuclei to for a helium nuclei. As the heavier nuclei form, lots of energy is released.
Energy is produced in the sun when two?

What keeps atoms from fusing together?
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 happens in a fusion reaction?
Two nuclei fuse together to form another element
What element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun and core?
Helium.
What accurately describes the main reaction that generates the Sun's light?
hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy

When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?
Helium is produced
