Nuclear Reaction - are process in which a nucleus either combines with another nucleus (through nuclear fusion) or splits into smaller nuclei (through nuclear fission). Most common types of Nuclear Reactions Most common types of Nuclear Reactions Most common types of Nuclear Reactions Most common types of Nuclear Reactions Bigbang Nucleosynthesis Resulted in the production of light elements specifically H, He and Li. Stellar Formation and Evolution Once enough He was produced, these nuclei became concentrated at the core of the star making the temperature hotter at the region.
