The correct response is:
The nuclei combine in a fusion reaction.
In fusion, atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, which releases a significant amount of energy. In contrast, simple chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes to the nuclei of the atoms.
