Your "common sense" leads you to believe that the fusion process occurring on the sun, which turns Hydrogen (an element) into Helium (a different element), is following "simple chemical binding properties".

What type of bond is used to combine the 4 Hydrogen atoms so they form the Helium atom....Ionic, Covalent...Aromatic?

I'll give a hint: Chemical bonds occur in the electron shells of atoms and an element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
