Answer:

Decreasing concentration of hydrogen in nebula will prevent nuclear fusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Large clouds of dust and gases are called nebulae.
  • The gas that comprises most part of nebula is hydrogen.
  • Hydrogen and dust particles are pulled together due to gravity and the mass starts rotating.
  • When hydrogen atoms collide with each other, they produce heat this process continues and the core of the cloud gets tremendously heated resulting in nuclear fusion.
  • Nuclear fusion is the phenomenon in which two lighter nuclei fuse to form a heavier nuclei. In a nebula , two hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium.
  • Thus if the concentration of hydrogen is decreased in nebula then nuclear fusion will stop.
