How to calculate the number of neutrons in the boron atom

6 neutrons

Hope this helps :)

When calculating the number of neutrons in the atom boron, we know that the atomic number is 5 so that means we have 5 protons. The atomic mass of boron was 11 and the atomic number was 5 so 11 - 5 = 6 neutrons.

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.
