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.
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.
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.
In the Sun, the primary elements that fuse together are hydrogen and helium. During the process of nuclear fusion, hydrogen nuclei (protons) combine to form helium nuclei, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This fusion occurs under extreme temperatures and pressures in the Sun's core, powering the Sun and producing light and heat.
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.
Basically because both nuclei are positively charged so repel each other.
When hydrogen nuclei fuse together, they can form helium. This fusion process is the energy source for stars, including our sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions.
Three helium nuclei, also known as alpha particles, fuse together to form a carbon atom in the process of stellar nucleosynthesis.
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
..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.
Two nuclei fuse together to form another element

During the solar nuclear reaction, in the proton-proton chain, four hydrogen nuclei (protons) bond together to form a helium nucleus. Two protons combine to form a deuterium nucleus, which then fuses with another proton to form helium-3. Two of the helium-3 nuclei then fuse to form helium-4.

The decay of uranium emits lots of alpha particles and a natural gas pocket tends to be a sealed container underground. Helium is cryogenically distilled out of natural gas to produce the helium.

When hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun's core, they create helium. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat, which provides the sun's power.
