On which planet?
Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
3 Helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,releasing light energy
A carbon atom has more protons, neutrons, and electrons than a helium atom. This gives carbon different chemical properties and the ability to form larger and more complex molecules compared to helium.
A molecule of helium is composed of two helium atoms.
Carbon dioxide is composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

In nuclear fusion, four hydrogen atoms fuse together to form one helium atom. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.

atom
One carbon atom can combine with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide (CO2).
A molecule of helium is composed of two helium atoms.
Carbon dioxide is composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
There are multiple types of carbon atoms (Carbon 12, Carbon 13, and Carbon 14).
Hydrogen atom: It consists of one proton and one electron. Oxygen atom: It is composed of eight protons, eight neutrons, and eight electrons. Carbon atom: It contains six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons.
No, the combination of a carbon atom with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide is a chemical change because the atoms are rearranging to form a new substance with different properties.
"Atom" implies there's only one there. If there were more than one atom, you'd have a compound. Since helium's an element, all that's in it is helium.
