Nuclear reactions: fission and fusion
... (elements with low atomic numbers). In a hydrogen bomb, two isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium are fused to form a nucleus of helium and a neutron. This fusion releases 17.6 MeV of energy. Unlike nuclear fission, there is no limit on the amount of the fusion that can occur. The immense ener ...

... The sun, directly and indirectly, is the source of most energy used on Earth. The energy released by the sun results from nuclear fusion. Fusion occurs when nuclei combine to produce a nucleus of greater mass. In solar fusion, hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse to make helium nuclei. Figure 25.13 shows ...

... The factor Q is used to represent the ratio of the power produced in the fusion reaction to the power required to produce the fusion (heat). This Q factor is not to be confused with the Q value. The breakeven point is Q = 1, and ignition occurs for Q >> 1. For controlled fusion produced in the labor ...
