I'm not sure what you are asking, but atomic fusion is a process by which two atoms are forced together to form one larger atom. This is the process that drives the sun where it is mostly fusing two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. Fusion reactions can also occur here on Earth in a hydrogen bomb explosion or in a particle accelerator where atoms are smashed together at great velocity and occasionally stick together to form new atoms. This is basically the process by which transuranic elements are created.

Do radioactivity nuclear reaction half life fission and fusion all connect?

Yes, they can all be connected. These disparate events are all nuclear events. They involve changes in the nuclei of atoms, and that's what connects them. Radioactivity is the "breakdown" of an unstable atomic nucleus. Nuclear reactions come in different types, but they are all nuclear reactions involving nuclei. Half-life is the term applied to unstable radionuclides to speak to how quickly the nucleus of the different ones will decay. Fission is basically the splitting of an atomic nucleus, while fusion is the fusion of subatomic particles into a new atomic nucleus, or the fusion of atomic nuclei to make a heavier atomic nucleus.


What is fusion Is it a chemical?

Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.

Fission.


What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?

In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.


Is fusion an atomic process that is used to produce energy?

Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.
