If the central temperature of a star exceeds 100 million Kelvins, as may happen in the later phase of red giants (stars) and red supergiants, then helium can fuse to form beryllium and then carbon.

What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?

When hydrogen nuclei fuse together, they can form helium. This fusion process is the energy source for stars, including our sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions.


what does nuclear fusion between two helium nuclei form?

what forms hydrogen nucleus


When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus fusion has taken place true or false?

Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.


What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?

Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.


What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?

Nuclear fusion converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. In the fusion process, hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.


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.

What is this process called when hydrogen nuclei combine with stars to form helium and other heavier elements?

nuclear fusion reaction


What is the process in which energy is released as the nuclei of atoms combine to form a larger nucleus?

Nuclear fusion is the process in which energy is released as the nuclei of atoms combine to form a larger nucleus. This process is what powers the sun and other stars, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process.


Which gas is produced by nuclear fusion?

The primary gas produced by nuclear fusion is helium. In the Sun, hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Helium is a byproduct of this fusion reaction.


During the solar nuclear reaction what four nuclei bond together?

During the solar nuclear reaction, in the proton-proton chain, four hydrogen nuclei (protons) bond together to form a helium nucleus. Two protons combine to form a deuterium nucleus, which then fuses with another proton to form helium-3. Two of the helium-3 nuclei then fuse to form helium-4.


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
