Directions: Differentiate between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions in which energy is released from high-powered atomic bonds between the particles within the nucleus.
Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which low-energy neutrons are used to smash the nucleus of an atom into smaller nuclei. In this process, a large amount of energy is released. Nuclear fission reactions are employed in nuclear power reactors due to their simplicity and high energy output.
On the other hand, a nuclear fusion reaction happens when two or more atoms join forces to create a single, heavier nucleus. The energy released during the nuclear fission reaction is far inferior to the quantity of energy released throughout this procedure.
