what is the relationship of fission and fussion?

Answer 1

Fission is the forced splitting of atoms. Fusion is the forced combining of atoms. Fission releases energy in atoms with high mass, fusion releases energy in atoms of low mass. It's all based on the nuclear binding energy curve (web search on "nuclear binding energy curve").

Answer 2

Nuclear fission is the process of releasing energy by splitting apart large, unstable atoms into smaller, more stable components. All commercial nuclear power plants, and the only atom bombs ever to be used in anger (the ones dropped by the USA on Japan in World War II), made use of fission reactions.

Nuclear fusion is the process of *combining* small, reactive atoms (certain forms of hydrogen usually) into larger, more stable atoms (mostly helium). This process releases an order of magnitude more energy than nuclear fission, and is the destructive force behind thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs). Fusion reactions require much higher input energy -- the reactants must be heated to millions of degrees and then compressed into an incredibly small area -- in order to occur. In fact, hydrogen bombs use a smaller fission bomb in order to incite the fusion reaction.

Due to the extreme amounts of energy involved, fusion reactions are vastly more difficult to control than fission reactions; this is the reason there are currently no viable fusion power plants. If a fusion plant could be built, however, it would be an incredible boon for the world's energy concerns, as it would enjoy several advantages:
(1) fuel is plentiful -- a gallon of water would produce enormous amounts of energy
(2) there are no radioactive byproducts -- all harmful byproducts of the reaction could be absorbed by a few feet of concrete
(3) fusion plants cannot have radioactive meltdown
The last two arise from the fact that there are no large atoms involved in the reaction, and hence no radiation -- radioactivity tends to be the product of large, unstable atoms.

Answer 3

It is two opposite processes:

In physics, nuclear fission is a process where a large nucleus (such as uranium) is split into two smaller nuclei.
In biology, binary fission refers to the process whereby a prokaryote reproduces by cell division. It is similar to mitosis and meiosis in eukaryotes.
In anthropology, fission refers to the process whereby a nationstate divides and becomes multiple states (example: Yugoslavia).

FUSION (not fussion) is the process by which multiples join together to form one thing.

Answer 4

Fission = splitting of an atom creating 2 lower mass atoms and releasing energy. The combined mass of the 2 new atoms is less than the original atom.

Fusion = Fusing 2 atoms into 1 higher mass atom also releasing energy. The mass of the new atom is not equal to the combined mass of the original 2 atoms.

Answer 5

Opposite

Answer 6

The nuclei of atoms are held together with "glue" such that when a heavy atom is split excess glue is converted to energy per Einstein's equation, E = Mc2. When two light atoms (hydrogen, lithium, etc.) are fused together, excess glue is also converted to energy. The fact that the sum of the masses of the two pieces of a split atom is slightly less than the mass of the whole atom is called the "mass defect" which some refer to as glue. The two light atoms being fused together also weigh slightly more than the final single atom due to the mass defect.

Answer 7

FIssion separates, fusion joins....

They're the opposites of each other
