Nuclear Fusion is a form of nuclear energy, where lighter atoms come together and join to make one bigger, heavier atom. When lower atomic number atoms fuse together, they release an abundance of energy. Energy is released because mass is lost in the process of fusion. Thermonuclear is the reaction of Nuclear Fusion only occuring at millions of degrees Kelvin where atoms break the force of repulsion caused by the positive charges from the protons in the nuclei of the atoms. Once the atoms overcome the repulsion, they attract and finally fuse together. The high tempuratures that are required for fusion only occurs in suns and uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions (atomic bombs).
Atomic bombs are uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions
Process of Nuclear Fusion-two small atoms joining together into one bigger one giving off energy
