Core reactions that occur:

¹⁴₇N + ⁴₂He → ¹⁷₈O + ¹₁H

Fusion and fission reactions are reactions involving atomic nucleus reactions

Fission reaction is a nucleation division reaction by firing a particle usually neutron so that it gets smaller particles of atomic nuclei.

Example:

Uranium nuclei division reaction

²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n -> ⁸⁹₃₆Kr + ¹⁴⁴₅₆Ba + 3¹₀n

In this reaction, Uranium splits into Kr and Ba isotopes and releases energy and gamma radiation

Energy is generated based on the isotope mass from the beginning of the reaction and after division

A fusion reaction is a combining reaction of 2 atomic nuclei. Usually what is often used is a reaction between the hydrogen isotope that will form Helium

³₁Ti + ²₁D  -> ⁴₂He + ¹₀n

Isotopes of Hydrogen Tritium and Deuterium form Helium

At the core, reaction applies the law of eternity

the energy before and after the reaction is the same

the number of atomic numbers before and after the same

the number of mass numbers before and after the same

Particles that play a role in core reactions include

In general, the core reaction equation can be written:

X = target core

a = particle fired

Y = new core

b = the particle produced

Q = heat energy

or can be written simply

X (a, b) Y

In the ¹⁴₇N  atomic nucleus, it is shot with alpha ⁴₂He rays which produce isotopes of Oxygen and ¹₁H protons.

¹⁴₇N + ⁴₂He → ¹⁷₈O + ¹₁H

This reaction can be written down

¹⁴₇N (α, H) ¹⁷₈O

The sum of the atomic numbers and mass numbers before and after are the same
