What are similarities between fusion and fission?

Answer 1

Binary fission is the form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria or archaea. Similar Organism splits into smaller parts, occur in single celled organisms.

Answer 2

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are similar in that they both involve changes in the nucleus of the atom. Another similarity is that relatively high energies (for the size of the matter involved) are associated with those nuclear changes.

In general, nuclear fission is the "splitting" of the nucleus of an atom, and nuclear fusion is the fusing or combining of two smaller atomic nuclei to form a larger one. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are described in related questions, which are linked below.

Answer 3

Nuclear fission breaks down heavy atoms like uran and plutonium creating other atoms.

Nuclear fusion melts together light atoms like Helium or Hydrogen creating other atoms.

Both creates an awfull amount of energy in the process.

The wasteproduct in both cases are radioactive and highly dangerous.

Answer 4

They both produce huge amounts of energy and involve the nucleus of an atom.

Answer 5

In both of them energy is produced due mass change into energy.
