Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.

Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
Which is not a type of nuclear decay?
zeyta
How are nuclear fusion and chemical synthesis reactions similar?
Chemical synthesis form a new molecule; nuclear fusion form a new atom.
What is the chemistry background of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is based on the helium nucleus synthesis from two hydrogen atoms at very high temperatures.
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.
Does carbon dating use nuclear fusion?
No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.
What does radioactive decay do for the sun?
not much, the main nuclear reaction happening in the sun is fusion not decay. the sun is composed almost entirely of hydrogen, deuterium, and helium; all of which are stable and do not decay.
What are the Application of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
Is radium naturally made?
Yes. Radium is a natural decay product of uranium, which is naturally formed in stellar nuclear fusion.
Are the following nuclear equation alpha decay beta decay or fusion Thorium 234 Proactinium 234 1oe Hydrogen Hydrogen Helium Uranium 238 Thorium 234 Helium 4?
These are all phenomenons in nuclear physics.
