Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Energy is created in the core when two ____ atoms join together to form a ____ atom.
A
helium, hydrogen
B
carbon, hydrogen
C
nitrogen, helium
D
hydrogen, helium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier atom, like when two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom. This is the same process that powers the sun and creates huge amounts of energy-several times greater than fission.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In a fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is called nuclear fusion. It takes four hydrogen atoms to fuse into each helium atom. During the process some of the mass is converted into energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear energy is energy in the core of an atom An atom has a nucleus (or core) containing protons and neutrons, which is surrounded by electrons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy.
