How do you compare fission and fussion?

Answer 1

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

Answer 2

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

Answer 3

Fusion involves the fusing or combination of two nuclides to form one, whereas fission involves the fission or splitting of one nuclide into two. Both processes involve a loss of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) which is manifest as heat and other forms of energy. It just so happens that the delta binding energy from fusion is hundreds or thousands of times more than that of fission, which is why Hydrogen (fusion) Bombs have so much more energy than Atomic (fission) Bombs.

Answer 4

Nuclear fission is what is used for nuclear power today, it is the splitting of a large atom's nucleus to form two smaller electrons by firing a beta radiation particle at it (an electron). Nuclear fusion is what happens in stars and the sun but is not yet possible to sustain for any period of time on Earth. It is the joining of the nuclei of two smaller atoms to from a larger atom, releasing a vast amount of energy but very high temperatures are required to give the nuclei the energy to move towards each other as they repel very strongly.

Answer 5

Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter ones, releasing a large amount of energy. Nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing a significant amount of energy. Fusion reactions are the process that powers the sun and other stars, while fission is commonly used in nuclear power plants.

Answer 6

Nuclear Fusion- The combining of atomic nuclei. Nuclear Fission- The splittling of a nucleus into fragments.

Answer 7

In fusion, two components are joined into one. In fission, one component is split into two.

Answer 8

start by spelling fusion correctly. Fusion is the joining of two small nuclei Fission is the splitting of One large Nucleus
