Question

What is nuclear energy? Write the difference between fission and fusion.

Answer 1

Ur 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 lightnuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

The energy harnessed in nuclei is released in nuclear reactions. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei and fusion is the combining of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus

Answer 2

When one or more nuclei combines to form to a large nucleus is termed as fusion.
The process of splitting a heavy nucleus like that of uranium into lighter nuclei is termed as fission
