Answer: The first step of hydrogen fusion reaction is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion reaction is defined as the nuclear reaction in which lighter nuclei fuses together to form a heavier nuclei.

Hydrogen fusion process is the process in which hydrogen atoms fuses together to produce helium as the end product.

The equations representing hydrogen fusion process is:

Step 1: Fusion of 2 hydrogen atoms to form deuterium atom.

$_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _1^2\textrm{H}+_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Step 2: Fusion of deuterium and hydrogen atom to form Helium -3 isotope

$_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^3\textrm{He}+\text{energy}$

Step 3: Fusion of helium-3 isotope with hydrogen atom to produce helium-4 atom.

$_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Hence, the first step in this hydrogen fusion process is
$_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _1^2\textrm{H}+_(+1)^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$
