Explain Nuclear fusion 

this is a process in which at very high temperature to small nuclear fused together to form a larger nucleus and thus releasing lot of energy

Nuclear fusion is another way to get energy. Man has always copied nature and now he wants to duplicate the nuclear process occurring in the sun for the production of energy. The word “fusion” means joining together. The energy emitted by the stars is believed to result from the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei. Such reactions which occur at a very high temperature are termed as thermonuclear reactions. Fusion processes are spontaneous only at temperatures of the order of 108 C or higher.

this is actually a process in which to atoms collided with each other to form a single atom and in the process releasing lot of energy

The conversion of hydrogen into helium takes place in stages. Two deuterium nuclei are fused to form helium-3, starting with the deuterium molecule. The large amount of energy that is released results from the mass difference between two deuterium nuclei and the helium-3 nucleus and a neutron.

Two light atomic nuclei combine into one heavy nucleus is nuclear fusion.Nuclear fusion occurs when two small nuclei join together to form a larger nucleus. A large amount of energy is released during fusion.

Nuclear fusion occurs within the sun and the stars.

Fusion in the sun is believed to occur in steps. Four protons produce one Helium atom atom, two positrons, and two neutrinos. The first two steps shown below must occur twice before the third step takes place:

Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two light atoms combine to create a single, more massive atom.The resulting atom has a slightly smaller mass than the sum of the masses of the original atoms.
The process releases excess binding energy from the reaction, based upon the binding energies of the atoms involved in the process.The difference in mass is released in the form of energy during the reaction, according to the Einstein formula E = mc2, where E is the energy in joules, m is the mass difference in kilograms, and c is the speed of light (approximately 300,000,000 or 3 x 108 meters per second).

This is the process that occurs in the interiors of stars including the sun. Hydrogen fusion is responsible for the enormous energy output that stars produce. The reaction involves three steps.

1)Two protons combine to form a deuterium nucleus, which consists of one proton and one neutron. A positron (also called an anti-electron) and a neutrino (a particle with negligible mass but extreme penetrating power) are generated during this part of the process.
2)The deuterium nucleus combines with another proton, forming a nucleus of helium 3, which consists of two protons and one neutron.
