nuclear fission
Nuclear energy is produced.
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.

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or "fuse", to form a single heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. Hence, heat and light.
In both cases energy is released through annihilation of mass
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.
Its mainly going to be Hydrogen nuclii. At the suns core, 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, energy is released. Later on in the Stars life, fusion of the helium nuclii may take place a lot more often, as the preferred fuel of Hydrogen is depleted.
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction where two or more atomic nuclei crash together at extremely high speed and join to form a new atomic nucleus. For instance, the Sun's intense pressure and temperature cause 620 million metric tonnes (680 imperial tons) to fuse together into helium.Although antimatter can be used to initialize fusion, it is not a requirement. For instance, acoustic shock waves have been theorized to cause enough temperature and pressure to fuse nuclei together. High temperature is also used in a tabletop fusion device called a Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor.As well, electrostatic confinement accelerates ions into a space causing them to fuse together in a device called a Polywell.However, the typical ingredients to cause atomic nuclei to fuse together are temperature and pressure.
