Question

explain giving necessary reaction how energy is released during fission and fusion.​

Answer 1

By Einstein's Mass Energy equivalence reaction

Explanation:

Einstein's Mass Energy equivalence reaction is followed by the energy which is released during fission and fusion.

• The Formula is  E=∆m c^2

• Here, ∆m refers to the mass difference of product and reactants

• C is referring to the speed of light

• In Fission, a heavy nucleus breaks down into 2 light nuclei releasing immeasurable amount of energy

• E.g. U-235 -> Ba-141 + Kr-92 + energy

• In Fusion, 2 light nuclei combines to form a heavy nucleus along with the release of energy.

• E.g. H-2 + H-2 -> He-3 + energy
