No, an element depends on the average amount of electrons it has.

Actually in stellar nuclear fusion it takes 4 hydrogen nuclei to fuse to make one helium nucleus, the process is called proton-proton burning.

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 nuclear process coverts helium and hydrogen gases from lighter to heavier elements?

The process is called fusion; hydrogen nuclei are fused together to make helium. At much higher temperatures and pressures, the helium can fuse into carbon and nitrogen and oxygen.


Why was hydrogen and helium formed?

Hydrogen is the simplest element; we believe that seconds after the Big Bang, all the mass in the universe was hydrogen. But because the heat and pressure were so intense, some of the hydrogen immediately fused into helium, or into lithium. (It takes four hydrogen nuclei to fuse to make helium, and six hydrogen nuclei will fuse into lithium.) This is all guesswork, of course; we weren't there, and have only the haziest understanding of what the conditions of the Big Bang might have been like - or if there was something else entirely happening that we currently can't image.


What is the definition of energy efficiency?

hydrogen nuclei join together to make a larger helium.


What takes place in the center of a star?

Fusion reactions. Hydrogen nuclei are fused to make helium nuclei.(Interesting categories...)


What element is transformed in solar fusion?

Our sun mostly transforms hydrogen nuclei into helium by fusion, but it also fuses helium with helium, lithium with hydrogen, and beryllium with hydrogen, to make elements as heavy as boron.


When the two hydrogen nuclei fuse what is the composition of the resulting nucleus What particle has been changed?

Helium


Is helium naturally produced in stars?

Yes, stars fuse Hydrogen atoms to make Helium in a natural process.


What is created when two hydrogen atoms fused together?

Hydrogen atoms have one proton in their nuclei. When two hydrogen atoms fuse together they make one helium atom that contains two protons in its nucleus. This is called nuclear fusion, which powers the stars in the universe.


Tiny particles of hydrogen fuses to helium in the sun?

Yes, they do. Because of the enormous gravity of the sun Hydrogen atoms fuse to each other (only 2) to make Helium.


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.
