What is the process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus?

It is called fusion. It is the process taking place on our sun, as two hydrogen atoms fuse together to form a helium atom and give off a small amount of energy while losing some mass.

What is the process called in which atomic nuclei combine to form a large nucleus releasing huge amounts of energy?
In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusionis the process by which multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy, which allows matter to enter a plasma state.The fusion of two nuclei with lower mass than iron (which, along with nickel, has the largest binding energy per nucleon) generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron absorbs energy; vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission. In the simplest case of hydrogen fusion, two protons have to be brought close enough for their mutual electric repulsion to be overcome by the nuclear force and the subsequent release of energy.
What is the procces where two or more low mass nuclei fuse to form another nucleas?
No, two nuclei do not combine to form one nucleus in nuclear fission. It is the process of nuclear fusion that speaks to the combination of two nuclei to form one nucleus. The two nuclei are fused to form a new nucleus. Nuclear fission is the "breaking" or "splitting" of an atomic nucleus into two (or possibly more) smaller fragments.
The binding together of two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called?
A reaction in which small nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus is called a nuclear fusion reaction. Large amounts of energy are required for fusion to happen but it will release even larger amounts of energy.
Energy released from the sun results from the process wherein atomic nuclei?
The process is called nuclear fusion
What provides the stability that occurs in larger atomic nuclei?
The most stable nuclei are iron and nickel, and that is due to the binding energy per nucleon being greatest in that size of nucleus. As you go to heavier nuclei like uranium for instance, the nucleus gets less stable. (see the related Wikipedia link) Larger atomic nuclei (up to lead) are stable because the repulsive electrostatic force does not decrease with distance as greatly as the strong nuclear force does.
When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus nuclear fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?
Combining the nuclei of atoms is called Nuclear Fusion. A reaction that is found in stars.
Energy is released when smaller nuclei join to form a larger nucleus in a process called what?
Nuclear fusion
What process provides the suns energy?
it s a nuclear process in which smaller nuclei combine to form huge nucleus. in this process some amount of mass convert into energy in the form of light and light
Is the chloroplast in onion cells larger than the nuclei?
Chloroplasts are larger than nuclei. A typical Chloroplast measure 4 to 6 um, and a typical nucleus measure about 3 um.
The process of dividing one cell nucleus into two cell nuclei is called?
the process of dividing one cell nucleus into two nuclei is called mitosis.
What is the two smaller nuclei joining to form a larger nucleus?
fusion
What does the large nucleus do?
The larger nuclei are unstable and undergo the disintegration process to gain the stability they emit particles as the radio active rays. the largest stable nucleus is for 82Pb (Lead) so nuclei having atomic numbers higher than 82 are Radioactive.
What is the process in which the nucleus divides to form to identical nuclei?
the answer is mitosis!
The process in which the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei-?
If you mean when "does" the nucleus divide to form two identical nuclei, the answer is during mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell reproduction. During this process the DNA is duplicated before the nucleus spilts into two identical nuclei each with their own identical copy of the parent cell, creating two new identical daughter cells.
