Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the two types of nuclear reactions?
A
addition and reduction
B
fusion and fission
C
reduction and fission
D
fusion and addition
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fission and fusion are two physical processes that produce massive amounts of energy from atoms. They yield millions of times more energy than other sources through nuclear reactions. You can check out the difference between the two in this video below.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the processes are very different. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nuclear fusion: this is the joining of two small atomic nuclei into one nucleus. Nuclear fission: this is the splitting of one large atomic nucleus into smaller fragments. Radioactive decay: this is the change of a less stable nucleus to a more stable nucleus. 11-Sept-2013
