Answer:

is very large and it provides the needed temperature for another set of fusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of two atomic nuclei into larger ones.

One of such is used in making hydrogen bonds.

In nuclei fusion,

²₁ H + ²₁ H → ⁴₂He + energy

This is an example of nuclear fusion.

The energy helps to further the fusion process and a chain reaction occurs and a massive amount of energy is released.
