Two protons would be particle unstable, so one of them must change to a neutron.

This will always produce a deuteron, a positron and an (electron)neutrino and a gamma ray will be emitted.

This is true for the simple p-p chain which is predominant in the Sun, and also in the CNO cycle which is a minor component of the Sun's fusion but important for more massive stars.

What nuclei and energy are the products of the nuclear fusion of the suns hydrogen?

Helium


What are the products and reactants in the primary fusion reaction carried out within the sun?

The reactants are Hydrogen atoms and products are Helium atoms. Because Helium atoms are larger than Hydrogen atom, large amount of energy is released from the net binding energy that resulted during the fusion process.


What does the fusion of hydrogen nuclei in sun produce?

The fusion of hydrogen nuclei in the sun produces helium, along with energy in the form of light and heat. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is the source of the sun's energy.


Which pair of nuclei can undergo a fusion reaction?

Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) and hydrogen-3 (tritium) nuclei can undergo fusion to form helium-4, releasing a neutron in the process. This fusion reaction is the basis for fusion energy production in potential future reactor designs.


What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?

Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.


Is Fusion a process in which existing nuclei combine to make new nuclei?

Yes. In nuclear fusion, experiments are trying to produce fusion of nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The product will be nuclei of helium plus released energy.


Hydrogen nuclei collide at high speeds to form helium nuclei this reaction is called?

Fusion


Identify the end products of the nuclear fusion process that occurs in the sun?

The end products of nuclear fusion in the sun are helium nuclei (alpha particles) and energy in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos. Four hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus through a series of fusion reactions.


How do the products of a fusion differ from the products of a fission reaction?

One thing that makes fusion products different from fission products obviously is the fact that fusion products are heavier than the original two nuclei and fission products are lighter than the original nucleus
