HW 5/7: Find the amount of energy released in each step of the Proton-Proton chain Fusion in the Sun follows a process called the Proton-Proton chain, starting with 6 total hydrogen nuclei 1. Two hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a deuterium (2H) nucleus, expelling a positron and a neutrino. (x2) 2. The deuterium nucleus fuses with a hydrogen nucleus to form a helion (He), expelling a gamma ray. (x2) 3. Two of these helion nuclei fuse to form a Helium nucleus, expelling two hydrogen nuclei Proton MAN Gamma ray -V Neutrino
