Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore the reaction that takes place in the sun is nuclear fusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Of the answers provided, the only correct statement is E. two lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Fusion occurs when two atoms collide with such a force or if there is enough pressure on two atoms that their nuclei are forced to combine, making one nucleus out of two original nuclei.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Fusion reactions occur when two nuclei come together to form one atom. The reaction that happens in the sun fuses two Hydrogen atoms together to produce Helium. It looks like this in a very simplified way: H + H → He + ENERGY. This energy can be calculated by the famous Einstein equation, E = mc2.
