Question

Compare the features of nuclear fission with nuclear fusion.

Answer 1

S. No.	NUCLEAR FISSION	NUCLEAR FUSION
1	The process of breaking up (splitting) of a heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called 'Nuclear fission'	Nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nucleus.
2	Can be performed at room temperature.	Extremely high temperature and pressure is needed.
3	Alpha , beta and gamma radiations are emitted.	Alpha rays, positrons, and neutrinos are emitted.
4	Fission leads to emission of gamma radiation. This triggers the mutation in the human gene and causes genetic transform diseases.	only light and heat energy is emitted.
