Fusion experiments and designs for fusion reactors generally focus on hydrogen, in the forms of deuterium (hydrogen-2) and/or tritium (hydrogen-3).

It should be born in mind that there is not much preventing any atom of any natural element undergoing fusion with something else. In fact, virtually all of what is around us is either hydrogen or something made by fusion, and this includes all the heavy elements like lead uranium.

What element is used in a nuclear fusion?

deuterium, and tritium


What element is used in nuclear fusion?

Hydrogen is turned into helium in stars.


How is Nuclear fusion and helium atoms related?

They are related because it is the element most often used in fusion in both the natural and synthesised fusions of the universe. Look up fusion in the sun for more information


What is the element that forms last in nuclear fusion in stars?

Existing element is product of nuclear fusion, heavy element exist from over fusion and thus create high atomic mass substance. To answer what is the element that is form last in nuclear fusion in star is the same as asking what is the heaviest element occur or found in nature. Base on what is in periodic table. The heaviest element found naturally is around Uranium - Plutonium thus it could be considered the last product known in nuclear fusion in star. There are heavier element than Uranium and Plutonium but those are synthesize element. Nuclear fusion might go to element heavier than what is known in our periodic table but those substance may be unstable and decay over time until none of those exist.


What is fusion Is it a chemical?

Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.

How does a nuclear plant work?

A nuclear energy plant produces electricity by either nuclear fusion or fission. Fusion is the combining of two atoms of the same element (such as hydrogen) to produce a new element (helium). Fission is the process of breaking down a large unstable atom of one element into two different elements. Both fusion and fission produce enormous amounts of energy and heat. The heat produced is used to heat water into steam which is then used to rotate the blades of a turbine which produces electricity.


What kind of reaction can change an element into another?
