The formulas of reaction of the carbon cycle (cn-cycle)

The carbon cycle is the sequence of thermonuclear reactions in stars as a result of which helium is produced from hydrogen. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, flourine are involved as catalysts in reactions of this type. The carbon cycle is considered to be the source of energy of massive stars in the early stages of their existence.

Reaction: Verification: Correct:	C¹²₆ + p¹₁ → N¹³₇ + γ 270 + 12 → 282 + 3 282≠285 C¹²₆ + p¹₁ → N¹³₇ 282=282
Reaction: Verification: Correct:	C¹³₆ + p¹₁ → N¹⁴₇ + γ 303 + 12 → 315 + 3 315≠318 C¹³₆ + p¹₁ → N¹⁴₇ 315=315
Reaction: Verification: Correct:	N¹⁴₇ + p¹₁ → O¹⁵₇ + γ 315 + 12 → 327 + 3 327≠330 N¹⁴₇ + p¹₁ → O¹⁵₇ 327=327
