In a chemical reaction, where is the catalyst located A. on the reactant side

B. on the product side

C. above the arrow

D. on both sides of the arrow

A. on the reactant side

Explanation:

A catalyst will appear in the steps of a reaction mechanism, but it will not appear in the overall chemical reaction

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
