This is one of those things where the way you look at it, and what you mean,
determine whether it's even true or not.
The fusion of a deuterium atom and a tritium atom into a helium atom produces
about 14.1 million electron volts (MeV). By comparison, the fission of a uranium
atom produces about 202 MeV, making a fission event over 14 times as energetic
as a fusion event.
But we could looked at it another way. A uranium-238 atom as an Atomic Mass of
about 238, and the 202 MeV come from that mass, providing a yield of about 0.82
MeV per unit mass. By contrast, the 14.1 MeV from one deuterium, with an atomic
mass of about 2, and one tritium, with an atomic mass of about 3, so the yield is
about 2.8 MeV per unit mass, which makes fusion over 3 times as energetic as
fission per mass per event.
What else can I help you with?
Which provides more energy per gram of fuel fission or fusion?
Fusion provides more energy per gram of fuel than fission. Fusion reactions release several times more energy compared to fission reactions, making fusion a more efficient and powerful energy source.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.
3 advantages nuclear fusion has over nuclear fission?
The binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) released is much greater when fusion occurs than when fission occurs. As an example, that is why fission bombs typically have yields around 100 to 500 kilotons of equivalent TNT, while fusion bombs typically have yields in the 25 to 50 megaton range. The problem is that fusion requires a lot of energy to initiate - in fact, most fusion bombs use a fission bomb to set them off.
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
In terms of energy per atom, nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involve the combination of lighter atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fission reactions, on the other hand, involve the splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into smaller fragments, releasing energy.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Which process, fission or fusion, releases more energy?
Fusion releases more energy than fission.
Which provides more energy per gram of fuel fission or fusion?
Fusion provides more energy per gram of fuel than fission. Fusion reactions release several times more energy compared to fission reactions, making fusion a more efficient and powerful energy source.
Which is more strong in producing energy the fusion or the fission?
Fusion produces energy more than fission by around 400 times for same mass.
For each gram of reactant fusion produces energy than fission?
For each gram of reactant fusion produces more energy than fission.
For each gram of reactant fusion produces what energy than fission?
Fusion produces energy more than fission by around 400 times for same mass.
For each gram of reactan fusion produses what energy than fission?
Fusion produces energy more than fission by around 400 times for same mass.
What releases more energy fission or fusion?
Fusion releases more energy than fission. Fusion is the process of combining light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while fission is the process of splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei. Fusion reactions release more energy because they involve combining lighter nuclei to form more stable nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
Compare and contrast fusion and fission?
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.
Can you explain the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion and how they differ in terms of energy production?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy. In terms of energy production, nuclear fusion has the potential to produce more energy than fission, but it is currently more difficult to control and sustain.
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to 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.
