The helium nucleus is larger than the proton. The He nucleus consists of two protons, and one (rarely) or two (most commonly) neutrons. (These are He-3 and He-4, respectively.) That would make the helium nucleus a multiple of three or four times the mass of that of a single proton.

Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.


How are hydrogen nuclei different from helium nuclei?

The main difference is that hydrogen nuclei have 1 proton whereas helium nuclei have 2 protons. The number of neutrons depends on the "isotope". Usually, a hydrogen nucleus does not have neutrons and is simply a proton. The helium nucleus usually has 2 neutrons.

Do proton-proton chain convert four hydrogen nuclei into one helium nucleus?

Yes, the proton-proton chain involves a series of nuclear reactions where four hydrogen nuclei (protons) are fused together to form one helium nucleus. This process releases energy in the form of gamma rays and solar neutrinos.


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.
