What is Fission and Fusion?

Answer Posted / 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.
