Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
How nuclear fusion and nuclear fission differ in terms of environmental hazards?
Nuclear fission involves splitting an atom and creates radioactive waste. Nuclear fusion involves bringing an atom together and creates no radiative waste
What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?
The protons! If a proton is removed from an atom it fission (usually from Uranium) and if one is gained it is fusion.
What is the process where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts in a reactor?
A. nuclear fusion C. Atomic Fracture B. Nuclear Fission D. Transformation thie correct answer will be A. nuclear Fusion.
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
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.

Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
Will the type of atom be the same or different after it under goes fission?
fission is the splitting of atoms
How nuclear fusion and nuclear fission differ in terms of environmental hazards?
Nuclear fission involves splitting an atom and creates radioactive waste. Nuclear fusion involves bringing an atom together and creates no radiative waste
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
