Question

arrange the events involved in nuclear fusion in the correct order. the colliding nuclei fuse to form larger helium atoms having two protons and two neutrons. bare nuclei collide with each other due to massive amounts of heat. the pressure of hydrogen gas increases, and the gas reaches extreme temperatures. hydrogen atoms shed their electrons.

Explanation:

First, the pressure of hydrogen gas increases and it reaches extreme temperatures. This causes hydrogen atoms to shed their electrons, forming bare nuclei. Then, due to massive amounts of heat, the bare nuclei collide with each other. Finally, the colliding nuclei fuse to form larger helium atoms with two protons and two neutrons.

Answer:

1. The pressure of hydrogen gas increases, and the gas reaches extreme temperatures.
2. Hydrogen atoms shed their electrons.
3. Bare nuclei collide with each other due to massive amounts of heat.
4. The colliding nuclei fuse to form larger helium atoms having two protons and two neutrons.
