Both He3 and He4 are important in the proton-proton cycle. How are they different, and which comes first?
What will be an ideal response?
Helium 3 has two protons and one neutron, and two of them collide in the last step of the proton-cycle to make helium 4 with two protons and two neutrons; they also release two extra protons.
