It is true when they form they form together they make nuclear fusion

Viviana Pennington · Answer 2

Yes. That's a nice, simple, intuitive description of the process that

liberates energy in the cores of stars and "H" bombs.

When 2 Hydrogen nuclei combine to form 1 Helium nucleus,

the combined nucleus has about 0.7% less mass than the

Hydrogen nuclei had. That "missing mass" shows up in the

form of energy leaving the site of the fusion.

Can you say "big boom"?
