- Fusion reaction combines isotopes of hydrogen to make helium and release energy. This requires temperatures in the millions of Kelvins to start.
- Fission reaction breaks up isotopes of heavy elements (Uranium & Plutonium) into lighter elements (fission fragments, a major part of fallout) and release energy. This can start a normal temperatures.
What else can I help you with?
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
Is the bomb little boy a fission or fusion reaction?
The "Little Boy" bomb used in the Hiroshima bombing was a fission bomb, specifically a gun-type uranium-235 bomb. It relied on the nuclear fission of uranium-235 to release a massive amount of energy.
What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
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.
Is atom bomb different to atomic bomb?
No, "atom bomb" and "atomic bomb" refer to the same type of explosive device that derives its destructive power from nuclear fission reactions. Both terms are used interchangeably to describe the same technology.
Where in space do fission and fussion reactions happen and what is the result?
Fission and fussion manly occar in a star or a sun. The reason that a star or a sun is bright is because of the heat that is given off of from fission and fussion.
Who studies the fission and fussion of atoms?
A nuerologist
Is fussion or fission happening in the sun?
fusion
Is there energy that begins with f?
fussion and fission
Did the atomic bomb use fussion for its explosive power?
The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
What are the steps of creating assembly?
fission, fussion then pizza yum
Are the products of nuclear fussion radioactive?
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
What is a fission bomb normally refured to as?
The fission bomb is known as the Nuclear bomb, or the A-bomb
Discuss the different modes of formation of subjects?
the modes of formation of subjects are:(1)fission(2)fussion(3)agglomeration(4)denudation
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
How are nuclear fission and fussion the same?
Both release excess nuclear binding energy.
Was the atomic bomb used in world war 2 a fission or a fusion bomb?
Fission.
