In a fusion reaction it's just what it say. Two smaller pieces go to form a larger piece.
A fission is just the opposite. A large piece breaks up to form two or more smaller pieces.
Nuclear reactions can be written out in equation form, with information about the nuclei that undergo the change and those that are produced in the nuclear reaction. When looking at equations like this, how can you identify a reaction as a FUSION reaction?
A nucleus with a large mass will be on the right side, and two or more smaller mass nuclei will be on the left side.
An alpha, beta, or gamma will be one of the reactants.
A nucleus with a large mass will be on the left side, and two more smaller mass nuclei will be on the right side.
An alpha, beta or gamma will be one of the products.
