Normal "main sequence" stars fuse hydrogen into helium during most of the star's life. The core of a star gets so hot that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together. As hydrogen only has 1 proton when if fuses with another hydrogen atom it has 2 protons so has become helium.

When 2 hydrogen atoms bonds with each other, the hydrogen molecule is formed. No other elements are formed.

My answer - hydrogen atoms together can form helium (i.e. the sun)-LB

Hydrogen is formed, though 7/10 of 1% of the mass is siphoned away in the form of Kinetic Energy.

Does isotopes only occur on heavier element?

No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known isotopes


How do you make hydrogen heavier?

You cant. It is an element and thus making it heavier would mean it is no longer hydrogen. However, heavy hydrogen exists and is called deuterium and is made in nuclear reactors.


Why some heavier planets may have hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the most commonly observed element in the universe and is likely contained in every planet.


Fusing hydrogen atoms into heavier elements produces?

It is believed this was how the universe formed. Hydrogen fuses to form all the other heavier elements on the periodic table up to Element number 92


What elements are heavier than hydrogen?

All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.


Which chemical element was created first?

According to the Big Bang Theory or Creation, hydrogen was first then the heavier elements. Man has created a few artificially and Neptunium was the first of these. Generally speaking, elements are not created by man they are pre-existing.


What element is currently building up in the Sun's core?

Right now, hydrogen is fusing into hydrogen. As the hydrogen gets used up, helium will begin fusing into the next heavier element. When the helium is about used up, the next heavier element will begin fusing into the next . . . . well, keep on going until you get iron as the result of fusing. The Sun has not enough pressure and heat to fuse iron into anything heavier, and the Sun will blossom out into a red giant. Of course, this is billions of years from now . . .


What were atoms heavier than helium were made by?

Atoms that are heavier than hydrogen were made by nuclear fusion after the big bang. Initially, only the lightest element, hydrogen, was present. However, after the universe cooled, hydrogen atoms fused to form helium. Later, the fusion of these atoms led to the formation of the other elements.


How are elements formed from hydrogen?

Heavier elements are formed from hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, through a process called nuclear fusion. There are machines or structures in the universe that do this, and we call them stars. It is the process within stars, stellar nucleosynthesis, that allows heavier elements to be created up through iron. Elements heavier than iron are formed in supernova events.
