It is fusion - the fusion of hydrogen into helium - accompanied by a gigantic release of binding energy that feeds the reaction and generates radiation in the form of light, heat, etc.

What kind of energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes?

Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.


Atomic bomb energy is released by?

Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.


Can fission occur after fusion?

No, fission and fusion are two distinct nuclear reactions. Fusion involves the joining of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei. They are not directly connected processes, so fusion does not lead to fission.


Fission and fusion are examples of what?

Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.


Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?

Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.


Is it true or false that the process by which energy is produced in the sun is known as nuclear fission?

False. The process by which energy is produced in the sun is known as nuclear fusion, not fission. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.


Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?

A atomic bomb is an example of fission, as it relies on the splitting (or fission) of heavy atomic nuclei to release a massive amount of energy. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the merging of lighter atomic nuclei, while annihilation is the complete conversion of matter into energy in particle-antiparticle collisions.


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.


What is the key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release?

The key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release is that fission reactions involve the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion reactions involve the combining of light atomic nuclei, also releasing energy.


In what ways do fusion and fission differ?

Fusion and fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion involves combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while fission involves splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into lighter nuclei. The main difference is the process by which energy is released: fusion releases energy when light nuclei combine, while fission releases energy when heavy nuclei split.


What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?

Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
