In the sun it is just protons, which are hydrogen nuclei. On earth experiments are using two isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium. These are still the same element, hydrogen, just two different isotopes.

∙ 14y agoThere are actually more than two elements that could undergo a fission reaction. There are two that are particularly important, and these are uranium and plutonium, both of which can be used in types of conventional nuclear reactors and in bombs. Not all uranium and plutonium isotopes can be used this way, however, and the specific isotopes are uranium 235 and plutonium 239. It is not necessary to have more than one of these for a reaction to take place.

Helium is fusible into Carbon.
Carbon, various isotopes of Hydrogen, and Helium are fusible into Nitrogen and Oxygen.
After this the reactions get complex, but the final results are Nickel and Iron.

What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?
Nuclear Fusion.
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements that are lighter than what element are involved?
Nuclear Fusion only releases energy when elements that are higher than what Nuclear Fusion produces certain sotopes of lighter elements.
What separates a chemical reaction from a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change. Common examples would be alpha decay, beta decay, fusion, and fusion. In each of those cases, different elements are formed in the process. This never happens in ordinary chemical reactions. In chemical reactions, it is the electrons that are involved , not the nucleus of the atom.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?
Nuclear Fusion.
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
How is a nuclear fusion the same as a chemical reaction?
They are...reactions and can lead to new elements; but the big difference is that a nuclear fusion involve particles from the atomic nucleus and a very great energy is needed.
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements that are lighter than what element are involved?
Nuclear Fusion only releases energy when elements that are higher than what Nuclear Fusion produces certain sotopes of lighter elements.
In a nuclear reaction engery is released by the combination of two elements into a new element this process is an example of?
nuclear fusion
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion

Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
What chemical reaction fuels the sun?
Fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that fuels your solar system.
