Asap- test is due in an hour - will award brainliest - chemistry open ended the normal freezing point of pure water is 0 c. when the student was preparing the rock candy, the water was cooled from it's normal boiling point (100 c) to it's normal freezing point (0 c) over the course of 7 days. why, on the 7th day, didn't the remaining liquid water freeze around the rock candy?

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
