Nuclear Fission vs. Fusion What is what????

Fission…what is it? Nuclear reaction OR radioactive decay Nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, neutrons released. Gamma radiation produced Release tremendous amounts of energy. **heavy elements

Nuclear Fusion Two or more nuclei collide at very high speeds and form a new nucleus. Matter is not conserved b/c some of the matter is converted to energy. Ex) our star burns H to He at 620 million tons per second. **light elements
