The lab procedure you just studied involves
several factors, listed below. Some are variable
and some are constant. Label each factor below V
for variable or C for constant.
initial number of radioactive nuclei
number of half-life cycles (time)
half-life of Lincolnium
number of protons in Lincolnium and
Memorium
number (or fraction) of Lincolnium atoms
DONE
Intro

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
