Question
Answer options: Fusion Both Fission
Atoms join into a larger atom.
Occurs on sun and other stars.
Releases large amounts of energy.
Undergoes chain reaction which requires neutrons to start and releases neutrons as a product.
Splitting atoms with heavy nuclei into atoms with lighter nuclei.
Used to generate electricity.
Requires many safety features, so is expensive to build power plants.
Cannot be used as energy source on Earth due to extreme temperature required.
Used in nuclear bombs.
Releases little waste or pollution.
Requires large amount of energy to start reaction.
Does not produce gases that pollute the air when used as a source of energy.
