Nuclear fusion.
- - - - -
There's three kinds of hydrogen: protium, deuterium and tritium. Protium is the vast majority of all hydrogen, and it has no neutrons. Deuterium has one neutron and tritium has two. With no neutrons you can't produce an atom with more than one proton, because they repel each other without the moderating force neutrons give.
In the conditions of the sun, neutrons can be made; therefore, you can make helium out of protium. (But it'll take four atoms of protium to give one of helium, two of which will become neutrons.) The fusion reactors we have on earth require deuterium and tritium to work.
On earth or in space, sticking two hydrogen atoms in close proximity gives an H2 molecule, not a He atom.

In a star atoms combine to form helium atoms?
Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
What combines to form helium atoms in a star?
Helium atoms in a star are formed through the process of nuclear fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms combine through a series of fusion reactions to form helium atoms. This happens when hydrogen atoms collide and fuse together, releasing energy in the process.
What happens when two hydrogen atoms combine to make a helium atom and energ y?
When two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, a process called nuclear fusion occurs. This releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
An atom of helium has a mass about four times greater than that of an atom of hydrogen Which choice makes the correct comparison of the relative numbers of helium and hydrogen atoms in equal masses o?
the number of helium and hydrogen atoms is the same
What is the process when a star combines two hydrogen atoms to make a helium atom?
3 Helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,releasing light energy

Which gas is produced by nuclear fusion?
If you refer to the fusion in stars, 4 atoms of hydrogen-1 combine to form one atom of helium-4.
Number of hydrogen atom fuse to form helium atom?
2 hydrogen atoms

How does hydrogen occur?
When two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.
How does hydrogen fusion occur?
When two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.
Does fusion have two Hydrogen Atoms Fuse To Make A Helium Atom?
yes
The Sun's energy is generated from the fusion of?
Hydrogen. creating helium. For every 1 hydrogen atom fused it creates 4 helium atoms
What does hydorgen combine with?
2 Hydrogen atoms can combine with 1 Oxygen atom to make water. H2O
