Fusion refers to the connection or joining of two or more distinct things or bodies while Fission is a splitting of something into two or more parts.
Nuclear fission is the division of a heavy atomic nucleus into two fragments of roughly equal mass, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, the binding energy of the subatomic particles.
Nuclear fusion is the joining of two nuclei of light elements to form heavier ones, releasing huge amounts of energy.
Fusion is when multiple nuclei are combined to form a heavier nucleus. For example, the fusion of 2 H atoms into a He atom.
Fission is when one nucleus splits into multiple smaller nuclei. For example, when Uranium 235 splits into Ba and Kr nuclei.
Fusion is the process that produces heat in stars, like the sun. It is safer and cleaner than fission, but we do not currently have the technology required to harness it, and Hydrogen is difficult to obtain on Earth.
Fission is pulling molecules apart (used in power plants to produce heat, to make steam, to turn turbines), and fusion is putting molecules together, which is what the sun uses to produce heat. Currently it is very difficult and inefficient to use fusion on earth.
In a fission reaction, a very large and unstable element (generally Uranium-235) is split. When it is split, the particles scatter, and Protons collide with other atoms. This causes other atoms to split, all along releasing massive amounts of energy (equal to the mass times the speed of light squared, which is the famous E=MC2).Where C=3 multiplied by10 raised to 8. A fusion bomb takes two hydrogen atoms and rams them together using high pressure, velocity and heat. When combined, they form Helium. This releases more energy, forcing more hydrogen atoms to fuse. The Fusion bomb is actually detonated by small fission bombs set around and within it.

What is the difference between fision and fusion?
Fission is spliting and Fusion is combining.
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What is the difference between fission and fusion in nuclear bombardment reactions?

What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What is the difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source?
Well, the difference is that when you get fusion it turns into fission. So really all your doing is using fissions. But, the difference to them is that when you use fission it produces a light that can be used. When you use fusion it can not be used as a light \, but just to make tatter tots. I like tatter tots do you?
What is the main difference between fission and fusion in terms of chemistry?
fission is the slitting of one element to produce energy but fusion is two element combined to produce that amount of energy.eg fission:Ba and for fusion H.
Difference between nuclear fusion and fission?
nuclear fussion means combining of atoms nuclear fission means spliting of atoms'
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
Explain the difference between atomic fission and atomic fusion?
The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one.
Whats the difference between a fission and a fusion?
Fission: Splitting large atoms into smaller atoms.Fusion: Combining small atoms into larger atoms.
Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?
No. Nuclear detonations involve fission and/or fusion. Conventional involve neither.
What is the difference between fission rector and fusion rector?
Fission means that heavy atoms are split, and converted into smaller ones. Fusion means that light atoms are combined to form heavier atoms.
