They are fusion reactions, and The force to get the reactions to occur comes from gravity.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.
Fusion reactions occur in the plasma phase of matter. Plasma is a high-energy state of matter in which electrons are stripped from atoms, leading to a mixture of positively charged ions and free electrons. This highly energized state allows for the fusion of atomic nuclei, as seen in stars and in experimental fusion reactors.
Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.

yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
Fusion reactions occur in the plasma phase, which is a super-hot, fully ionized state, where the electrons have been stripped off, eliminating them from electromagnetic contention for the subsequent fusion event that occurs under enormous pressure.
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
In fusion reactions, nuclei need to overcome the strong electromagnetic repulsion to merge and release energy, requiring high temperatures to achieve the necessary kinetic energy. In fission reactions, nuclei need to be bombarded by neutrons to induce a split, a process that can occur at lower temperatures.

Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.
Yes, at temperatures around 15.6 million degrees Celsius in the Sun's core, nuclear fusion reactions can occur. These reactions involve the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
