Helium
When the nuclei of hydrogen and lithium are fused together, helium is produced.
Hydrogen was formed in the early universe through a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis, where protons and neutrons combined to form hydrogen nuclei. It is the most abundant element in the universe, created during the first few minutes after the Big Bang.
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.
Hydrogen was formed in the early universe, around 3 minutes after the Big Bang during a phase known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis. At that time, the extremely high temperatures and pressures allowed for the fusion of protons and neutrons to form hydrogen nuclei.
Hydrogen, but its not burning, its fusing.

Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
During the solar nuclear reaction, hydrogen nuclei (protons) bond together to form helium nuclei through a process called nuclear fusion. This fusion involves the conversion of hydrogen into helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

Most commonly, a hydrogen nuclei is simply a proton. If you are dealing with a hydrogen isotope (H2 or H3) then it is a proton and 1 or 2 neutrons. Most commonly, a hydrogen nuclei is simply a proton. If you are dealing with a hydrogen isotope (H2 or H3) then it is a proton and 1 or 2 neutrons.
Only when the nuclei of the element contain no neutrons. This occurs naturally only for hydrogen-1.
Scientists reckon that Hydrogen nuclei were the first to form (being the most simple element), around a few milliseconds after the `big bang`. Between 3 and 20 minutes they reckon that helium nuclei were the next to be formed. They then say that these nuclei were not able to capture electrons until around 379,000 years later.
hydrogen nuclei join together to make a larger helium.
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.
