Best Answer

Fission and fusion reactions are chain reactions but in different ways. In fission reaction a heavy nuclei is bombarded with a slow moving neutron and this nuclei breaks to produce more such neurons along with generation of new elements. These slow moving neutrons are further used to carry out fission of more such nuclei. This is chain reaction.

Fusion reaction are a different class of nuclear reaction in which small nuclei fuse together to produce bigger nuclei along with the generation of energy due to mass defect..

In fusion reaction lot of energy is produced and this energy is used to carry out further reaction. Thus both can be called series reaction.

If one reaction causes the next (as is typical for the fission of U-235), then this is called a chain reaction.
