Question

What's the difference as well as similarities between nuclear fission and nuclear fussion?

Answer 1

BASIS FOR COMPARISONNUCLEAR FISSIONNUCLEAR FUSIONMeaningNuclear fission implies reaction in which a heavy nucleus is broken into smaller nuclei, by releasing neutrons and energy.Nuclear fusion refers to a process in which two or more lighter atoms combine to create a heavy nucleus.FigureEventUnnaturalNaturalTemperatureHighExtremely highEnergy requiredRequires less amount of energy to split nucleus.Huge amount of energy is required to force nuclei to fuse.Generation of energyTremendous amount of energy is generated.Relatively high amount of energy is generated.ControlControllableUncontrollable

Answer 2

Similarity is that both are nuclear reaction and nuclear fusion is reaction of two atoms resulting a single huge atom and nuclear fission in breaking down of a huge atom radioactive atom into two or more atoms
