Answer 1

fission is the splitting of s nucleus when it is bombared by neutrons ....just fusion combeins fission splits

Answer 2

Answer: Fission is the splitting of a nucleus when it is bombarded by neutrons.

Explanation:-

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

`_(94)^(239)\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _(96)^(242)Y+_0^\textrm{n}`

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

`_(92)^(235)\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _(56)^(143)Ba+_(36)^(90)Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}`
