Nuclear Fission occurs when

Nuclear Fusion occurs when a neutron slams into a larger atom, forcing it to excite and spit into two smaller atoms, also know as fission products.

The inner part of an atom that contains the proton and the neutron is called the __________.
Nucleus

If an atom was enlarged so the electrons were spinning around the stands of a football stadium, how big would the nucleus be?
marble

This is anything that takes up space (has a mass).
matter

Atomic numbers of an atom are the same as the number of what in an atom?
protons

Nuclear Fusion is 

Nuclear fusion is the process where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus releasing a large amount of energy in the process, essentially, it's the merging of atomic nuclei to create a larger one, like what power the sun and other stars.

Water drops that collect on a cold glass of lemonade come from 

the water vapor present in the air around it

Why does hydrogen have an atomic number of 1?
because it only has one proton

What is nucleosynthesis?

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nuclei are created from pre-existing nucleon and nuclei, essentially meaning the reaction of new elements by combining smaller particle together, primarily happening within stars through nuclear fusion reactions and starting with the very first moments after the Big Bang.
