Nuclear Fission, continued Energy is released when nuclei form. mass defect: the difference in the total measured mass of a nucleus and the sum of the individual masses of the neutrons and protons that make up the nucleus This small amount of mass changes into energy. Nuclear Fission, continue...
Nuclear Fission and FusionChang Caixiang
Nuclear Fission and Fusion Fission Fission means divided. When a heavy nucleus is bombarded by neutrons the strong nuclear force weakens, but the electric repulsion remains strong. A fast moving neutron collides with the atom and splits it into smaller fragments High levels of energy released (7 ...

Nuclear fusion is the opposite process, in which two light nuclei merge to form a heavier one, yielding energy because the combination is lighter than the sum of its parts. Atoms heavier than iron can undergo fission, while lighter ones can fuse. Nuclear power stations generate energy from ...

nuclear fission and nuclear fusion Diagram showing the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear reactors to produce energy for electrical power and similar applications. It also was used to create the atomic bomb. Fusion is used to create thermonuclear...

Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium. Fission occurs naturally on Earth. An example is the spontaneous fission ofuranium, which only happens if enou...
