Proton-proton fusion is a form of stellar nucleosynthesis, which is the most common form of fusion in stellar energy release for stars of the mass of our Sun*. Nuclei of hydrogen (protons) are fused to create nuclei of helium, releasing energy. It is a three-step process. # Two hydrogen nuclei (each a single proton) are forced together at high temperature and pressure to form an atom called "deuterium" (one proton and one neutron). One of the two protons becomes a neutron through the release of a neutrino and a positron, which now carries the (+) charge. The positrons are annihilated by contact with their anti-particles, electrons (-). # After deuterium is formed, it fuses with another hydrogen nucleus (proton) to form Helium-3 (two protons and one neutron). # Two Helium-3 molecules will interact to form an atom of stable Helium-4 (two protons and two neutrons), releasing two protons. At every step of the process, energy is released as gamma radiation and neutrinos. (The greatest amount of energy is released from the reduction of Helium-3 into Helium-4.) The total is much greater than the energy required to begin the original proton pairing, so the reaction throws off enormous amounts of energy into the non-reacting matter surrounding it. In the Sun, this energy is passed outward to the surface of the star where it is eventually released into space as light and heat. * Stars more than 1.5 times the mass of the Sun are thought to use an alternate process involving the nuclei of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in the fusion process.
What else can I help you with?
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion. This process releases large amounts of energy and is the primary source of power for the sun and other stars. It involves the merging of lighter atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.
What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?
That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
What is the energy required to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
A sentence for heat of fusion?
Because of the heat of fusion the ice is now water
Does fusion mean division?
No. Fusion means to join to things together. Division means to take something and split it up.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
How do you make a fusion suit from Metroid?
Metroid does NOT have the Fusion Suit, Metroid Fusion has the Fusion Suit, And no human on earth knows how to make a Fusion Suit.

Where is Fusion Computress in Fusion Fall?
She is with Fusion Dexter in the Fusion Tunnel to Lab at Mandark's House and Galaxy Gardens. She is spinning around Fusion Dexter in his lair at Mandark's House and the first Fusion to defeat in Fusion Dexter's lair in Galaxy Gardens
Which is stronger potara or fusion?
Fusion is stronger because when you use the potara you can't turn Super Sayain, but with fusion you can
What is used in a Fusion Summon?
A Fusion Summon generally consists of two or more Fusion Material Monsters and the Spell Card Polymerization.Some Fusion Summons, such as Contact Fusion, do not require the use of Polymerization and can be fused as directed on the Fusion Monster.
Can you use fusion recovery after i use dark fusion?
Yes you can. Obviously Fusion Recovery must target a Polymerization, not Dark Fusion.
What creates the heat and light in a star?
Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
What is another name for heat of fusion?
Another name for heat of fusion is enthalpy of fusion.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
