Large amounts of energy are required to join two atom's nuclei into a single nucleus and, in turn, create a new element. What is the name of the process where two nuclei join to create a new element?A) combining B) elementium C) fission D) fusion

 fusion

Explanation:

Nuclear fission : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei (which is an unstable nuclei) into two or more small nuclei (which is a stable nuclei) along with release of high amounts of energy.

Example: The energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

Nuclear fusion : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: It occurs in sun and stars where the isotopes of hydrogen called as  Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
