Explain one similarity and one dissimilarity between nuclear fission and fusion. |

Answer» SOLUTION :Nuclear FISSION and nuclear fusion are dissimilar in the sense that former involves splitting of a heavy nucleus whereas latter involves fusing of two or more light nuclei. The SIMILARITY between the two is that both involve mass defect `(DELTAM)` and hence nuclear energy is released in both the process as per the relation `E=(Deltam)c^2` |
