So wait, when hydrogen fuses to form helium, where do the neutrons

Does the energy released from the fusion create the neutrons?

don't you mean absorbed? how would it form from energy being released?

when fusing , the weight of the helium is a bit less than the weight of both hydrogen atom. using the whole e=mc2 thing you can find out how much energy is released. i think we did it in highschool at some point.

it's not normal hydrogen that fuses, it's deuterium with an extra neutron or tritium with 2 extra neutrons. That also accounts for the energy that is released. Also you drawing of hydrogen is false it misses a neutron.

Deuterium(hydrogen isotope with two neutrons) fuses with tritium(hydrogen with three neutrons) to make helium
