What is Fission and Fusion?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / bhuvaneshwari
Fission is a process that takes place in an atom which
results in splitting of a bigger unstable atom into smaller
stable atoms.Eg: He atom is divided into H atoms by fission
reaction. takes place in sun
Fusion is a process that combines smaller unstable atoms to
form a bigger stable atom. eg: 2H atoms combines to form a
He atom.

Answer / ancy rose varghese
The splitting of nucleus of an atom into two pieces having
equal weight is called as nuclear fission.eg atombomb
The process of formation of a highly weighed nucleus by the
combination or fusion of two or more light weighed nucleus
is called as nuclear fusion.eg hydrogen bomb

Answer / bak
Fission is the process of nuclear breakdown of heavy unstable atoms into smaller more stable atom. In doing so a large amount of energy is released. Fusion is the process of nuclear fusion of 2 or more light atoms to a single more stable atom. In doing so a large amount of energy is required to overcome repulsive forces between the nuclei.

Answer / shashwat
Fission: The breaking down of a Nucleus (not atom) into
smaller nuclei. It is usually induced by a neutron.
For example, a Helium nucleus (called alpha particle) is
divided into two 4He(+2) --> 2H(+1) + 2H(+1)
A lot of enery is released in the process.
Fusion: This happens when two nuclei combines to form a
larger nuclei. Huge amount of enery is needed to start
this. Because its not easy to bring two positively charged
nuclei closer.
When they combine, a huge amount of energy is released.
This usually happens in the stars.
The enery required to start the fusion comes from the
gravitational force between the particles.

Answer / kavita
FISSION: The process of splitting of an atom having large
atomic no.into two or more atoms having smaller atomic no.s
is called fission. A large amount of energy is required in
this process.
The sum of atomic mass of smaller atoms formed is equal to
the mass of bigger atom.
FUSION: The process of combining of smaller atoms into
bigger atoms is called fusion. A large amount of energy is
released in this process.
The atomic mass of bigger atom formed is equal to the sum of
masses of smaller atoms.

Fission is breaking of bond in atom or molecule and fusion
is bond formation between atom or molecule.
