It's a [n] atomic
nuclear reaction, but it's the combination of two very light elements, generally hydrogen that come together and produce helium and then they also produce a lot of energy, and the energy comes from the basic fact that helium is slightly lighter than two hydrogens put together, so that excess energy has to go somewhere
via Einstein's E = mc2
These elements could most plausibly have been produced by endergonic
nuclear reactions during a supernova, or by transmutation
via neutron absorption inside a massive second - generation star.
