Answer:

Fusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier atom, like when two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom. This is the same process that powers the sun and creates huge amounts of energy—several times greater than fission.

Fission prevents heavier elements from forming
