Splitting an atomic nucleus is atomic fission. Fusion is the fusing or "forcing together" of particles or lighter atomic nuclei that then "stick together" to form a heavier atomic nucleus. Use the links below to learn more.

∙ 12y agoNo. Nuclear fusion involves the "fusing" together of two atomic nuclei to form a heavier element. The process that involves splitting an atomic nucleus is called fission.
A great way to remember which is which is by noticing that the word "fusion" is similar to the word "fuse." This is because they have a similar meaning.
The Sun creates energy from the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs) do the same thing on a comparatively small scale. In nuclear weapons, the only current way to create the conditions for fusion is to set off an attached fission bomb using uranium or plutonium, using that energy to initiate fusion.

What is the best definition of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the joining of two or more nuclei into one nucleus (apex) CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!
Is fission and fusion opposite?
No, fission and fusion are not opposites. Fission is defined as the act of splitting into parts and fusion is defined as a coalition of factions or the act of fusing.
What is the procces where two or more low mass nuclei fuse to form another nucleas?
No, two nuclei do not combine to form one nucleus in nuclear fission. It is the process of nuclear fusion that speaks to the combination of two nuclei to form one nucleus. The two nuclei are fused to form a new nucleus. Nuclear fission is the "breaking" or "splitting" of an atomic nucleus into two (or possibly more) smaller fragments.
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.
Fusion means to divide?
Fusion means to merge two separate objects into one. Fission means to divide. Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms to harvest the immense energy released by this process.
What is fusion and fission?
Fusion is the combination of two nuclei into one. Fission is just the opposite, the splitting of one nucleus into two.
What is the best definition of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the joining of two or more nuclei into one nucleus (apex) CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!
What word describes the process of a heavy atomic nucleus splitting into several smaller particles?
Fission
Is uranium 235 and a neutron producting barium 141 an example of nuclear fusion?
No. it is an example of nuclear fission (splitting of nucleus).
Is fission and fusion opposite?
No, fission and fusion are not opposites. Fission is defined as the act of splitting into parts and fusion is defined as a coalition of factions or the act of fusing.
How does nuclear fission differ from nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a nucleus with a large mass into two nuclei with smaller masses. The energy released can then be used to produce electricity. Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass. The energy released by this reaction may someday be used to produce electricity. In other words, Nuclear Fusion is the exact opposite of Nuclear fission. While Nuclear Fission is splitting a nucleus into two nuclei, nuclear fusion is merging two nuclei into a nucleus.
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
What is the nuclear fission is the fusing of nuclei to become one single atom?
No. That's a description of the process of nuclear " fusion ".Nuclear " fission " is the splitting of one single atomic nucleus into two or more nuclei.
What is the procces where two or more low mass nuclei fuse to form another nucleas?
No, two nuclei do not combine to form one nucleus in nuclear fission. It is the process of nuclear fusion that speaks to the combination of two nuclei to form one nucleus. The two nuclei are fused to form a new nucleus. Nuclear fission is the "breaking" or "splitting" of an atomic nucleus into two (or possibly more) smaller fragments.
A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called nuclear fission.true or false?
False. Combining nuclei to form a new nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus.
What is it called when two nuclei fuse together?
Fusion. When a nucleus splits into two or more fragments this is called Fission.
