The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
Uranium
Uranium
Plutonium I think.
all you need in nuclear fission is a large element (235Uranium) and a neutron, the neutron goes into the Uranium causeing it to split into smaller parts grapes.
Uranium (mainly as mixture of U-235 and U-238)
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.

We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.

Usually uranium with various U-235 percentages.

Uranium makes for an excellent element for nuclear fission. Hydrogen is most commonly used for nuclear fusion.
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.

either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
