They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms

Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
Where do you get nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained through fission and fusion reactions.
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
The processes of fission, fusion and fission-fusion-fishion all release energy. Currently, only fission reactors are used to produce electricity.
What is fusion and fission related to?
Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.
Which is more powerful, fusion or fission?
It really depends on what you mean by what is more powerful. Fission is far more destructive in its capabilities, but fusion is less destructive and produces far more energy than fission.
How are fission and fission similar?
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
How are fissions and fusion similar?
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
What are the 3 main types of nuclear reactions?
Nuclear fission: When an element breaks apart to form lighter elements and other sub-atomic particles. Nuclear fusion: When two lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones.
What item go from chemical energy to thermal energy?
Items do not go from one form of energy to another other than in thermonuclear fusion or fission.
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
Which process would release energy from gold fission or fusion?
fission
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Energy release of fusion compared to fission?
fusion=bigger boom
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
