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).
How are fusion and fission different?
Fusion is the joining of particles to make stuff. Fission such as nuclear fission is 2 atoms smashing together such as Uranium 234, it gets smashed apart and more atoms are produced this happens billions of times to create very high amounts of energy.
What Types of nuclear bombs are there?
fission and the fusion types
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 a nuclear reaction in which an atom's nucleus splits to form two new atoms?
Nuclear Fission.Splitting the atom creates masses of energy, so it is done in nuclear power plants which we use to power towns and cities.Nuclear Fusion is joining two atoms together to form new elements and such. Scientists havent found out how to do this, but it takes place in Supernovas in space.
Who studies fission and fusion atoms?
a nuclear physicist.
What scientist studies fission and fusion of atoms?
nuclear physicist
What is the name of the scientist that studies fission and fusion atoms?
Nuclear physicist.
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 a fission and fusion?
fission is the splitting of atoms of uranium or plutionium by the means of neutrons. fusion is the opposite. fusion is the violent combining of atoms through magnatism and heat. our own sun uses fusion to shine.
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.
What is the differenc between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
Fusion means to combine lighter atoms into a heavier atom. Fission means to split a heavy atom into lighter atoms.
What is the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
Who studies the fission and fussion of atoms?
A nuerologist
What are the main types of nuclear energy?
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
What's the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
Compare nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting large atomic nuclei into smaller ones, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion involves merging small atomic nuclei together to form larger ones, also releasing energy. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
