Fission: splitting of a large particle into two or more smaller particles, occur naturally, produces many highly radioactive particles, Critical mass of the substance and high-speed neutrons are required, Takes little energy to split two atoms in a reaction, The energy released is far greater than that released by chemical reactions, atomic bomb, Fusion: fusing of two or more lighter particles into a larger one, occurs in stars, Few radioactive particles are produced, High density, pressure, and temperature are required, Extremely high energy is required, The energy released is 3-4 times greater than fission, hydrogen bomb,
