Explain the difference between atomic fission and atomic fusion?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
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.

Explain the difference between atomic number and mass number?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom while the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. for example lithium has an atomic number of 3 and a mass number of 7. Therefore lithium has 3 protons and 4 neutrons.
What is an atomic weapon?
An atomic weapon is an alternative name for a nuclear weapon, a weapon which derives its energy from the nuclear reactions of either fusion or fission.
What is the atomic number of NA plus 1?
11...There are 11 electrons in Na1+ the only difference between Na1+ and Na is Na1+ has 1 more proton...there is no difference in electrons. Hope this helps :)
Which element has an atomic number between 27 and 31?
Atomic number 27 : Cobalt Atomic number 28 : Nickel Atomic number 29 : Copper Atomic number 30 : Zinc Atomic number 31 : Gallium
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
What are the difference between atomic fission to atomic nuclear?
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
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
What is the difference between a atomic submarine and a nuclear submarine?
Nothing but the terminology. "Atomic" was the term used in the early days of nuclear weapons and nuclear power. "Nuclear" (describing the fission process of nuclear power and nuclear weapons) became the term when fusion bombs became reality, as Atomic can refer to both fission and fusion processes.
Explain what evidence is available on the periodic table that supports the idea of isotopes?
the difference between the atomic number and the average weight
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Do atomic bombs work with atomic fission?
no
What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
What is the speed of nuclear fission?
In an atomic bomb the time between fission generations is about 10ns and the entire reaction is over in 1us to 3us. In an atomic reactor the time between fission generations is about 10us because each neutron must collide about 1000 times with moderator atoms to slow down to "thermal" speeds.
Did atomic bombs work by atomic fission?
all nuclear explosives use some fission. even now.
