Abstrak

In physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple atomic particles join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Iron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei and therefore are the most stable. The fusion of two nuclei lighter than iron or nickel generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron or nickel absorbs energy; vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission. Nuclear Fission is the process of splitting an atom to create an explosion. This process is less powerful than the fusion bombs such as the hydrogen bomb. A uranium bomb is a form of a fission bomb when a neutron is shot through the nucleus of the atom, the atom breaks up into 2 separate elements: Krypton and Barium. These are called the "daughters" of the nucleus.
