Why a fission reaction is neccasary for fusion reaction?
It isn't, in general. Thermonuclear bombs use a fission bomb to generate the heat and pressure required to start the fusion process, but there are other ways of doing it (stars do so by gravity, for instance).
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
It depends on the specific context. Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion is the combining of two smaller nuclei into a larger one, also releasing energy. Each reaction has distinct characteristics and applications in different scenarios.
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonation of a fusion hydrogen bomb is initiated by the primary fission bomb, which generates high temperatures and pressures needed to trigger fusion reactions in the hydrogen isotopes. The fission bomb compresses and heats the fusion fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions can occur, releasing vastly more energy than the fission reaction alone.
How do the waste products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?
Most (but not all) fusion products are non-radioactive. Virtually all fission products are strongly radioactive beta or gamma emitters.
How do products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?
Fusion is a process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus, while fission during fusion a small fraction of the reactant mass is converted into energy. While not the only possible fusion reaction, the most commonly known is the fusion of hydrogen to create helium. The product is stable. In contrast, when fission of uranium or plutonium takes place, the resultant nuclei are neutron heavy and therefore will almost certainly be radioactive.

What are two types of reaction?
Fission and fusion
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
How do the masses of the atoms produced as a result of fusion reaction differ from the masses of the atoms that result from a nuclear fission reaction?
Fusion: smaller atoms are made into bigger atoms (2 Deuterium atoms -> 1 Helium atom) Fission: larger atoms are made into smaller atoms (1 Uranium 235 (Z=92) + 1 neutron -> 1 Krypton 92 (Z=36) + 1 Barium 141 (Z=56))
