What is the process when alpha particle He-4 fused to heavy elements to form heavier elements?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Fusing with additional helium nuclei can create heavier elements in a chain of stellar nucleosynthesis known as the alpha process, but these reactions are only significant at higher temperatures and pressures than in cores undergoing the triple-alpha process. ... Oxygen and carbon are the main "ash" of helium-4 burning.
