1) The difference between fusion and a Chen Oak reaction is that fusion involves the merging of atomic nuclei to form a larger nucleus, while a Chen Oak reaction refers specifically to the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to produce helium.
2) During a nuclear fusion reaction, atomic nuclei collide with enough energy to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and merge together, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.
3) The type of radioactive decay that involves a helium atom is alpha decay, where an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons.
