Fusion! The atoms "fuse" together. Fission, on the other hand, is the separation of atoms into ligher elements, they form a fissure!

Atomic Fusion
The process is called nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion, two atoms combine to form a larger atom, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This is the process that powers the sun and stars.
Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
Yes. For example, one sodium atom and one chlorine atom combine to make sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom make water.
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.
The two atoms that combine are a metal atom and an oxygen atom.

One potassium atom can combine with one chlorine atom to form potassium chloride.
Atoms combine to form new atoms in the cores of stars. It is possible but quite difficult to combine them in atom smashers on this planet. That is how the trans Uranium elements have been produced.
