In this article we will learn about the difference between Fission and Fusion
Fission:
- When the neutrons are bombarded with nucleons, large nucleons are used to form into more/large fragments. this is also known as the nuclear reaction or radioactive decay.
- This process do not requried high temperature, about room temperature, is needed to do the process.
- With the help of neutrons, the process is used to start.
- The released energy can be used as heat energy and can be used in nuclear power plant.
- Radioactive material produced is high in this fission process.
- Radioactive material causes effects to humans.
- Small substance formed at the process is more.
- Controllers of fission reactors can be easily constructed.
- This process is used to generate the power in the nuclear power plant.
- This can also be used in medical fields.
- This is highly used in Weapons, like Atom bombs.
- When the process is fission reaction, they are called nuclear bombs.

Fusion:
- In this reaction, two or smaller Nucleic are used to form into larger nucleus.
- By the help of protons the process is used to start.
- This process is done on sun every day, the energy released by the sun is used in most of the things.
- To create fusion process it required fuel and required high temperature and pressure.
- In this process radioactive material formation is less.
- This does not affect to humans.
- Fusion reaction controllers are difficult to construct.
- This is also used in power generation and Weapons, like Hydrogen bombs.
- These bombs are more dangerous than atom bombs.
- Then the process is fusion reaction then it is called hydrogen bomb.
