They are...reactions and can lead to new elements; but the big difference is that a nuclear fusion involve particles from the atomic nucleus and a very great energy is needed.

Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?

In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.


Are nuclear reactions and nuclear fusions the same thing?

No, nuclear reactions refer to any processes involving changes in the nucleus of an atom, which includes both nuclear fission and fusion. Nuclear fusion specifically refers to the process where two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy.


What type of reaction is synthesis?

photosynthesis is the reaction that takes place in which plants turn CO2 and water (H20) in the presence of sunlight into glucose (C6H1206) and oxygen


How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?

Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.


Which process occurs in a controlled fusion reaction?

Nuclear fusion occurs when multiple atomic nuclei join to form a larger, more massive nucleus.Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or "fuse", to form a single heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. Fusion is the process that powers active stars, the hydrogen bomb and experimental devices examining fusion power for electrical generation.


The binding together of two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called?

The process of binding together two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same reaction that powers the sun and other stars.


What is the same with nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

They are quite different, it's hard to think of anything the same. Different fuel, different conditions to make the fuel give energy. Both types of reaction give out neutrons, so that is one thing the same.


Is nuclei and nuclear fusion the same?

No. Nuclei are objects, nuclear fusion is a process in which those objects join to make bigger nuclei.


What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?

That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.


What two componants make the same reaction as hilium?

The reaction that produces helium typically involves the fusion of hydrogen isotopes, particularly deuterium and tritium. In this process, these isotopes combine under extreme temperatures and pressures, such as those found in stars, to form helium and release energy. Therefore, deuterium and tritium are the two components that can yield the same reaction as helium through nuclear fusion.


What is a change in an atom's center called?

In atom's centre its Nucleus present which is consist of two parts protons and neutrons, in a chemical reaction nucleus doesn't take part, only electrons take part, when there is a change in nucleus, its due to "Fission" or "Fusion" reaction, Atomic blast and the electricity producing from nuclear energy perform the same reactions.


How is carbon developed?

Same as all elements - in stars by nuclear fusion.
