This is called nuclear fusion, meaning that the nuclei of the atoms fuse to form a new nucleus (with a different number of protons and neutrons). So a totally different element is the result of the fusion.
Also, energy is usually released in the process, which could be in the form of wave emission or particles ejected at high speeds.

What happens to atom and molecules when matter is cooled?
Nothing happens to the atoms within the molecules,but the molecules move around slower.
Most atoms contain one or more?
In fact all atoms contain one or more protons and an equal number of electrons. Most atoms contain one or more neutrons, the exception being Hydrogen atoms which have none.
What happens to hydrogen atoms at a very high temptatute?
At very high temperatures, hydrogen atoms can undergo nuclear fusion to form helium. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same process that powers stars. In extreme conditions, hydrogen atoms can also become ionized, meaning they lose their electrons.
Why can't an atom loose or gain a proton?
Atoms actually can loose neutrons, but they can't lose protons if they are to remain the same element. Loss of neutrons changes the atom into an isotope of its basic structure. It does not impact the atoms atomic number, just its atomic weight. Loss of protons would change the atoms atomic number. The atomic number defines what the atom is and its location on the periodic table. If an atom loses a proton or a group of protons, as happens in atomic fission, it forms two or more smaller atoms and releases the binding energy as energy to the overall system.
The effect a magnet has on an atom is dependent on?
The effect a magnet has on an atom is dependent on the magnetic properties of the atom, such as its electron configuration and spin. Atoms with unpaired electrons are more likely to interact with a magnet and exhibit magnetic properties.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
Atoms that are made of more than one atom are examples of?
First of all, I think you meant molecules that contain more tham one kind of atom. These are called compounds. The two different elements are fused together chemically, and cannot be separated easily. Compounds should not be confused with mixtures, which are physically combined and can be separated.
Are all atoms molecules?
No atoms are molecules! An atom is singular A molecule is more than 1 atom bonded together
Which reaction used for nuclear power plant. fission or fussion?
Nuclear fission. Larger atoms are broken into smaller parts and energy is released. Nuclear fusion is where lighter atoms are fused together - as happens in the sun. This also produce energy, though much more.
Do Molecules consist of only one atom or more than one atom?
A molecule always consists of 2 or more atoms, otherwise they would just be atoms.
Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?
Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.
What are fused heterocyclic compounds?
Fused heterocylic compounds is a heterocylic compound (eg. Furan) fused with another ring which can be either a carbon ring (benzene) or can be fused with another heterocylic ring(Pyridine,Pyrrole,...etc). Fused heterocyclics can be either 2 fused rings,3 rings or more. From the famous examples on fused heterocylic compounds: -Heroin -Indole -Morphine -Carbazole
How is a molecule differ from an atom?
Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
What happens to atoms in a oxidation reduction reaction?
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
What has more mass 100 hydrogen atoms 4 sulfur atoms or 1 lanthanum atom?
100 Hydrogen atoms have an atomic mass of 100.794, 4 Sulfur atoms have an atomic mass of 128.26, and 1 Lanthanum atom has an atomic mass of 138.90547.
What happens in the electron shells when one atom combines with another to form a compound?
When two (or more atoms) join to form a compound, they actually join by sharing electrons.
Does methane have more carbon atom or hydrogen atoms?
HYDROGEN
