deuterium

|
helium

tritium

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Within about 3 minutes after the Big Bang, conditions cooled enough for these protons and neutrons to form hydrogen nuclei. This is called the era of nucleosynthesis. Some of these nuclei combined to form helium as well, though in much smaller quantities (just a few percent).
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the deuterium then collided with other protons and neutrons to produce helium and a small amount of tritium (one proton and two neutrons).
