if you were to combine two carbon-12 atoms in a fusion process, what element would you get? (type the symbol from the periodic table, not the full name of the element.)

A magnesium-24 nucleus (Z = 12, A = 24) has the same nucleons as two carbon-12 nuclei (Z = 6, A = 12). The reaction is therefore a fusion of two carbon-12 nuclei, and no other particles are produced: [tex]^{12}_{6}C +^{12} _{6} C ------ > ^{24}_{12}Mg[/tex]

Nuclear fusion process: A reaction known as nuclear fusion occurs when two or more atomic nuclei fuse to create new atomic and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons). Energy is released or absorbed depending on how much mass there is between the reactants and products. The difference in nuclear binding energy between the atomic nuclei before and after the reaction is what causes this mass difference. Large amounts of energy are generated during nuclear fusion process, which fuels active stars, main sequence stars, and other high-magnitude stars.
