Therefore the main technical difficulty for fusion is getting the nuclei close enough to fuse. At nucleus radii distances the attractive nuclear force is stronger than the repulsive electrostatic force. Nuclear fusion forces diagram.
Using nuclear fusion to produce energy and its pros and cons. What nuclear fusion is and how and where it occurs. Learn vocabulary terms and more with flashcards games and other study tools.
Start studying nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles neutrons or protons the difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or absorption of energy this difference in mass arises due to the difference in atomic binding energy between the atomic nuclei. Fusion reactions occur in stars where two hydrogen nuclei fuse together under high temperatures and pressure.
Nuclear fusion is when two small light nuclei join together to make one heavy nucleus. This causes the nucleus to. In a nuclear reactor a neutron is absorbed into a nucleus typically uranium 235.
Nuclear fission is the splitting of a large atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
