There are no stable atoms with 5 or 8 nucleons (hydrogen would have 5‚ helium would have 8)‚ therefore fusion stops at helium. Normal steller processes Elements form by fusion of lighter elements and heavier elements into heavier elements. They release energy. Elements with mulitples of 4 nucleons are most abundant because they combine helium. Fusion stops at iron Supernova processes R‚ S‚ P processes form elements denser than iron What are the basic types of radioactive decay? Why does each
