Question

difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 2

$\begin{gathered}{\underline{\underline{\textsf{\textbf{\red{Nuclear Fission-}}}}}} \end{gathered}</p><p>$

1. It involves splitting of heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei of comparable masses along with the release of two or more neutrons.
2. It is initiated by neutrons of suitable energy.
3. The product formed are radioactive in nature and difficult to dispose off.
4. It involves a nuclear chain reaction.

$\begin{gathered}{\underline{\underline{{\textsf{\textbf{\red{Nuclear Fusion-}}}}}}} \end{gathered}</p><p>$

1. It involves Union of two or more lighter nuclei to form a heavy nucleus.
2. It is initiated by very high temperature : greater than 10⁶ K.
3. The products formed are non radioactive in nature and safe to dispose off.
4. It does not involve a nuclear chain reaction.
