State two different between fision and fusion?

1. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. Fusion is the combining of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing a large amount of energy.

2. Fission is the process used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs, while fusion is the process that powers the sun and hydrogen bombs.

1. Process: Fission splits a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei, while fusion combines two or more light nuclei into a heavier nucleus.
2. Energy release: Fission releases enormous amounts of energy due to the high binding energy of the split nuclei, while fusion releases even larger amounts of energy due to the release of mass when two nuclei combine.
