Two or more small and light nuclei combine to produce a heavier nucleus. (produce energy).
- Difficult to achieve
- Nucleus repel each other (+ ve)
- Need to have a very high temperature to make the kinetic energy to overcome the repulsion
A heavy nucleus split into two or more of smaller nuclei with almost the same mass when bombarded by neutrons (produce energy).
Chain reaction: Neutrons from nuclear fission continuously splitting nuclei causing further fission.
\(E = mc^2\)
