Nuclear fusion:

Two or more atomic nuclei join together to form a single nucleus.

Energy is released.

Nuclear fission:

What is fusion and fission related to?

Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.


How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?

The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?

The two processes that produce nuclear changes are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion involves combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller ones. Both processes release a large amount of energy.


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.
