1 Nuclear Fission vs. Fusion What is what????

2 Fission…what is it? Nuclear reaction OR radioactive decay Nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, neutrons released. Gamma radiation produced Release tremendous amounts of energy. **heavy elements

5 Nuclear Fusion Two or more nuclei collide at very high speeds and form a new nucleus. Matter is not conserved b/c some of the matter is converted to energy. Ex) our star burns H to He at 620 million tons per second. **light elements

The equation E = mc 2 is probably the most recognized symbol of physics. This equation tells us that matter and energy are really two forms of the same.
