उत्तर
| Nuclear Fission | Nuclear Fusion |
| Nuclear fission is the process by which an atom's nucleus breaks into two lighter nuclei during a nuclear reaction. | In the process of nuclear fusion, two or more light nuclei collide to create a heavier nucleus. |
| An enormous quantity of energy is produced when each atom divides. | Compared to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion produces energy that is several times more powerful. |
|
Natural fission reactions do not take place in nature. |
Stars and the sun undergo fusion processes. |
| In a fission reaction, less energy is required to divide an atom. | In a fusion reaction, high energy is required to fuse two or more atoms together. |
| The nuclear fission principle underpins the operation of an atomic bomb. | The hydrogen bomb operates on the nuclear fusion principle. |
