Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -(right) Nuclear fusion happens when two small nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear fusion is the joining of two nuclei to form a heavier nuclei. The reaction is followed either by a release or absorption of energy. Fusion of nuclei with lower mass than iron releases energy while fusion of nuclei heavier than iron generally absorbs energy.
