Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary product of a nuclear fusion reaction in stars?
Correct Answer: Helium
  • Step 1: Understand that stars are very hot and have a lot of pressure.
  • Step 2: Know that in stars, hydrogen atoms (nuclei) come together to form a new element.
  • Step 3: This process of hydrogen atoms combining is called nuclear fusion.
  • Step 4: When hydrogen nuclei fuse, they create helium nuclei.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the main product of this fusion process in stars is helium.
