A (small) amount of mass is "converted" into energy.
If you fuse light elements into heavier ones (particulally hydrogen into helium),
you end up with less mass than you started with.
Likewise breaking apart heavy elements into lighter ones result in a "loss" of mass.
Note - iron is the low point of all of this,
thus you can fuse up to iron OR fission down to iron - but no farther.
What else can I help you with?
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
What happens in a nuclear bomb?
fission and/or fusion
Where does solar fusion form on the sun?
Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.
During nuclear fission and fusion, what is matter that seems to disappear actually converted into?
During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into energy.
What is produced during atomic fission and atomic fusion?
heat
What are ideal places for fission and fusion?
Fission takes place in nuclear reactors, which are useful to produce electricity. Fusion has not yet been harnessed on earth, so the only place it happens is in stars
What happens to a mass in both fission and fusion?
It happens a loss of mass that transforms into energy according to the formula: E = mc2
Describe three advantages nuclear fusion would have over nuclear fission.?
1. Unlike fission, during fusion tremendous amount of energy is liberated. Hence fusion of a very small mass generates large amount of energy. 2. Unlike fission the products of fusion reactions are not radio-active. Thus they are harmless and can be replaced easily. 3. Highly penetrating radiations are liberated during fission, which are highly hazardous.

Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
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.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
