Activity A: Proton-proton chain Get the Gizmo ready: . Click Reset. . Be sure Proton-proton is selected in the Reaction menu. nucleus? Proton Neutron Introduction: All stars turn hydrogen into helium in a process called nuclear fusion. Stars perform this process in different ways. In stars like our sun, the proton-proton chain is used. This reaction requires temperatures greater than 4,000,000 K to occur. Question: How does the process of fusion turn hydrogen into helium in stars? 1. Observe: Click Fire proton and observe. What happens after the proton merges into the This is a form of nuclear decay called positron emission. During positron emission, a proton decays into a neutron. In this process, it emits a positron, which is a nearly massless antimatter particle with a positive charge. Focus
