1. Fission vs. Fusion

2. Nuclear Fission
Splitting an atom

3. Use the cartoon to write the fission reaction that occurs.

4. The atomic products of U-235 fission are not always the same
If U-235 is bombarded by a neutron the products may also be Xe-143 and Sr-90
write this balanced reaction

5. Fusion Occurs at very high temperatures
Large quantities of Nuclear E can be released when smaller nuclei are combined to form a larger heavier atom
Occurs at very high temperatures
releases 3-10x more E than fission
Power of the sun and stars

6. H becomes He

7. The End
