a) Give one point of difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. b) Suppose we consider fission of a Fe into two equal fragments of Al nucleus. Is the fission energetically possible? Justify your answer by working out Q value of the process. Given (m of Fe = 55.93494 u atomic no.26and (m) of Al = 27.98191& atomic no.13.

Answer»

Answer:

Nuclear FISSION and fusion involve the disintegration and combination of the elemental nucleus. In the case of nuclear fission, an atom DIVIDES into two or smaller or LIGHTER atoms. Nuclear fusion occurs when two or more atoms JOIN or fuse together to FORM a large or heavy atom.
