Why did nuclei fuse together?
Basically because both nuclei are positively charged so repel each other.
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.
The nuclei of hydrogen has a positive charge How does this affect the chances of nuclear fusion occurring?
The positive charges of hydrogen nuclei cause repulsion, it is very difficult to bring two hydrogen nuclei close enough for them to fuse into helium. However, if they can be forced to fuse, a huge amount of energy is released.
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)
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 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.
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 is the simplest form of fusion that occurs in stars?
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei

What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?
Helium

What happens the nuclei of the egg and sperm during fertilization?
The nuclei of the egg and sperm cells fuse to form the fertilized egg.
What accurately describes the main reaction that generates the Sun's light?
hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy
How many helium nuclei fuse together when making carbon?
3
When two or more nuclei join together or fuse?
nuclear fission
