What is the difference between fission and fusion is?

Answer 1

Fusion refers to the connection or joining of two or more distinct things or bodies while Fission is a splitting of something into two or more parts.

Nuclear fission is the division of a heavy atomic nucleus into two fragments of roughly equal mass, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, the binding energy of the subatomic particles.

Nuclear fusion is the joining of two nuclei of light elements to form heavier ones, releasing huge amounts of energy.

Fusion is when multiple nuclei are combined to form a heavier nucleus. For example, the fusion of 2 H atoms into a He atom.

Fission is when one nucleus splits into multiple smaller nuclei. For example, when Uranium 235 splits into Ba and Kr nuclei.

Fusion is the process that produces heat in stars, like the sun. It is safer and cleaner than fission, but we do not currently have the technology required to harness it, and Hydrogen is difficult to obtain on Earth.

Answer 2

Fission is pulling molecules apart (used in power plants to produce heat, to make steam, to turn turbines), and fusion is putting molecules together, which is what the sun uses to produce heat. Currently it is very difficult and inefficient to use fusion on earth.

In a fission reaction, a very large and unstable element (generally Uranium-235) is split. When it is split, the particles scatter, and Protons collide with other atoms. This causes other atoms to split, all along releasing massive amounts of energy (equal to the mass times the speed of light squared, which is the famous E=MC2).Where C=3 multiplied by10 raised to 8. A fusion bomb takes two hydrogen atoms and rams them together using high pressure, velocity and heat. When combined, they form Helium. This releases more energy, forcing more hydrogen atoms to fuse. The Fusion bomb is actually detonated by small fission bombs set around and within it.

Answer 3

Fission is the breaking apart of atom elements and Fusion is the coming together of atomic elements.
