It's not atoms that are involved in nuclear fusion, rather, as the name implies, it's nuclei that are involved. Therefore it's easier to talk about what nuclear isotopes are involved in fusion. Well, with enough energy supplied, they all could be, but I bet you mean exothermic fusion reactions (release energy), in which case the isotopes involved have an atomic number of around 26 (iron) or lower.
On a subatomic level, the explanation can get complicated. Basically, though, as one isotope gets closer and closer to another, they become more and more electromagnetically repelled, since nuclei only consist of protons (charge +1) and neutrons (charge 0). However, there is a distance, known as the "Coulomb barrier," where the force of electromagnetic repulsion gets overtaken by the strong nuclear force, and the two recently separate isotopes bind together. Breaking this barrier can take quite a bit of energy though.
Ultimately then, the main particle involved in nuclear fusion is the gluon, since it mediates the strong nuclear force.
In nuclear fusion, atoms of hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses. The fusion reaction involves the combination of these hydrogen isotopes to form helium, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process.
First beryllium is formed, followed by carbon
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms, releasing energy in the process. This nuclear fusion reaction in the sun's core is what produces sunlight and heat.
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
fission is the splitting of atoms of uranium or plutionium by the means of neutrons. fusion is the opposite. fusion is the violent combining of atoms through magnatism and heat. our own sun uses fusion to shine.
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
Hydrogen atoms are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, hydrogen isotopes (such as deuterium and tritium) combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Oxygen atoms are not typically involved in nuclear fusion reactions to produce helium.

nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
FALSE ,, because atoms can be destroyed by nuclear fusion
The core of the sun and other stars primarily consist of hydrogen atoms undergoing nuclear fusion to form helium atoms. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which powers the sun and allows it to shine.
yeah
