difference between nuclear fission and fusion.?
Answers
Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy
Answer:
difference between Nuclear Fission &Nuclear Fusion
Definition :-
1)Fission is the splitting of a large atom into two or more smaller ones.
1)Fusion is the fusing of two or more lighter atoms into a larger one.
Natural occurrence of the process:- 2)Fission reaction does not normally occur in nature.
2)Fusion occurs in stars, such as the sun.
Byproducts of the reaction :-
3)Fission produces many highly radioactive particles.
3)Few radioactive particles are produced by fusion reaction, but if a fission "trigger" is used, radioactive particles will result from that.
