The helium nucleus is larger than the proton. The He nucleus consists of two protons, and one (rarely) or two (most commonly) neutrons. (These are He-3 and He-4, respectively.) That would make the helium nucleus a multiple of three or four times the mass of that of a single proton.

Is nuclear symbol for helium the same symbol for a proton?
No the hydrogen nucleus is a proton. The helium nucleus is an alpha particle.
What has the Atomic nucleus at fewest protons?
helium with 2 proton Hydrogen has 1 proton.
How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus of the helium atoms?
The hydrogen nucleus has a single proton. The helium nucleus has two protons and one or two neutrons.
Do proton-proton chain convert four hydrogen nuclei into one helium nucleus?
Yes
What element do you get if you remove a proton the nucleus of a lithium atom?
an isotope of the element helium is obtained.

How is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom different from the nucleus helium atom?
The nucleus of hydrogen has 1 proton, whereas that of helium has 2 protons.

Yes
How are hydrogen nuclei different from helium nuclei?
The main difference is that hydrogen nuclei have 1 proton whereas helium nuclei have 2 protons. The number of neutrons depends on the "isotope". Usually, a hydrogen nucleus does not have neutrons and is simply a proton. The helium nucleus usually has 2 neutrons.
What element do you get if you remove a proton the nucleus of a lithium atom?
an isotope of the element helium is obtained.
What is 2-proton 2-neutron structure identical to helium nucleus?
An alpha particle.
In the process of nuclear fusion four hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a nucleus of what?
A helium nucleus plus energy released. see the link below
Are hydrogen-3 and helium-3 isotopes of the same element?
No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.
Describe what happens to the proton number and the mass number when an alpha particle is emitted by a nucleus?
Proton number is decreased by two while mass number is decreased by four. Since alpha particle is similiar to helium nucleus.
