well im hust thirteen so ill try and use my own words but isn't a fussion reaction when a lighter elliment and a larger eliment implode on eachoth such as hydrogen and helium causeing a large burst of energy sorta like the sun i am probly confussing it with some orhet type of reaction and also isn't it fanasized in being used as a power source and contributes to the heavy water power plants if i am wrong plz correct i don't like giving wrong info by ;-)
Fusion is when ANY two atoms are forced close enough that their nuclei combine into a single atom. The atoms can be the same size or different sizes. Energy is released only if the combined atoms produce an element that is less than or equal to the Atomic Mass of an iron atom. Heavy elements require energy to be added so they are only produced in explosive processes like nova or supernova explosions.
What else can I help you with?
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission
What does fusion have to do with the sun?
Nuclear reaction
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
What type of reaction occurs when a thermonuclear bomb explodes?
A fusion reaction.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
Where does the fusion reaction occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
