What Types of nuclear bombs are there?
fission and the fusion types
Who studies Fission and fusion of atoms?
a nuclear physicist.
What is fusion as opposed to fission and why does it need high temperatures and fast speeds?
Fusion is putting together (atoms ... usually hydrogen atoms), Fission is the breaking apart of atoms. And fusion requires high energy to occur because it requires the nucleus of atoms to touch (collide) - not an easy thing to do (basically impossible using only chemical energy).
What is the process that A star turns matter into energy?
A nuclear reaction - either fusion or fission - is required to turn matter into energy.
What is the difference between a fire bomb and a nuclear bomb?
A fire bomb is a conventional incendiary bomb: magnesium, napalm, etc. A nuclear bomb uses fission and/or fusion and is mostly a blast effect weapon.
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
How is the nuclear energy now in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
It depends on the specific context. Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion is the combining of two smaller nuclei into a larger one, also releasing energy. Each reaction has distinct characteristics and applications in different scenarios.
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.
How are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission different from each other?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion combines atomic nuclei to create heavier elements, while fission splits atomic nuclei into smaller fragments. Fusion powers the sun and hydrogen bombs, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
Which process, fission or fusion, releases more energy?
Fusion releases more energy than fission.
Is fission and fusion opposite?
Fission and fusion are opposite nuclear processes. Fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter ones, releasing energy, while fusion involves combining lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy.
