Nuclear FUSION.
When an atom disintegrates it is called 'Nuclear FISSION'.
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.
Nuclei can fuse together through a process called nuclear fusion, which involves the combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the source of power in stars, including the Sun. Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged nuclei.
nuclear fission (if the atomic nuclei are broken into smaller lighter elements) nuclear fusion (if the nuclei fuse to form a heavier element)
The process of joining two nuclei together to form a new element is called nuclear fusion. This occurs when the nuclei of two atoms are forced together, typically at very high temperatures and pressures, overcoming their electrostatic repulsion to merge and form a heavier nucleus. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
When hyphae of different mating types meet, they can fuse together in a process called plasmogamy. This fusion forms a structure known as a dikaryon, where two distinct nuclei coexist within the same hyphal compartment. This dikaryotic mycelium can then undergo karyogamy, where the nuclei fuse to form a diploid nucleus, initiating the formation of sexually reproductive structures such as mushrooms.
nuclear fission
..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.

Where people fuse two atoms together to make the nuclei heavier
..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.
When two smaller nuclei come together, it is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process where two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
False. A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called fusion, not fission. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and hydrogen bombs. Fission, on the other hand, is when the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei.
