For generating nuclear energy, fusion experiments use the smallest nuclei, isotopes of hydrogen, while fission experiments use very large nuclei. why?

Energy is released whenever a nucleus changes: However, it is more difficult to cause fission by striking smaller atoms with neutrons. Large atoms are also more difficult to join by pressing them together.

  • Even little atoms must currently be accelerated to extremely high speeds for fusion.
  • Fission literally translates to "a splitting or breaking up into bits." Atoms are split during nuclear fission to release heat energy.
  • A large, somewhat unstable isotope (atoms with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons) undergoes nuclear fission when it is struck by fast particles, often neutrons.
  • The unstable isotope is struck by these accelerated neutrons, causing it to fission, or split into smaller particles.
  • Nuclear reactions like fission and fusion both provide energy, but they have different uses.
