  • Hydrogen Fusion: Understanding the Formation of Helium & Particle Transformation
    When two hydrogen nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons. In this process, one of the protons transforms into a neutron, releasing a positron (a positively charged electron) and a significant amount of energy in the form of gamma radiation.

    To summarize:

    Original particles: Two hydrogen nuclei (each with one proton)

    Resulting nucleus: Helium nucleus (with two protons and two neutrons)

    Changed particle: One proton in one of the hydrogen nuclei is converted into a neutron.
