Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
What do nuclear fusion and fission have in common?
Nuclear fusion and fission are both processes that involve releasing energy from the nucleus of an atom. They can both produce large amounts of energy and are used in nuclear power plants.
In both fusion and fission what is converted into energy?
Mass. When you split a large atom (fission) into parts the mass of the parts is less then the original atom. The "lost" mass comes out as energy. When you combine two small atoms into a larger atom (fusion) , the larger atom has less mass then the two original atoms and the "lost" mass comes out as energy.
What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?
Protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons, are the particles responsible for nuclear reactions in the atom. The strong nuclear force binds these particles together in the nucleus, leading to nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
In terms of energy per atom, nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involve the combination of lighter atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fission reactions, on the other hand, involve the splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into smaller fragments, releasing energy.
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
What about the atom can make an atomic bomb?
Fission and/or fusion.
What is the differenc between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
Fusion means to combine lighter atoms into a heavier atom. Fission means to split a heavy atom into lighter atoms.
Which scientist would study fission and fusion of atom?
A physicist
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

Will the type of atom be the same or different after it under goes fission?
fission is the splitting of atoms
Is fusion a type of reactor?
Fusion is the combining of two atoms to make one, fission is the splitting of an atom to make two.
What the differents between fission and fusion?
Basically fission is the splitting of an atom. Fusion is coming two atoms to form one. If that's not enough detail check out wikipedia, its pretty legit for chemistry.

How do nuclear fusion and nuclear fission work?
The absorption of a free moving neutron by the atom's nucleus
What do nuclear fusion and fission have in common?
Nuclear fusion and fission are both processes that involve releasing energy from the nucleus of an atom. They can both produce large amounts of energy and are used in nuclear power plants.
In what ways are fission and fusion alike?
Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy by altering the nucleus of an atom. Both processes involve the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy.
