Dear NinaNicole,

Yes that’s right, - the one does the “opposite” of the other. But if you do a little “Goggle” you will easily find the one or/and the other.
Then also the "fuel" will be known too.

Good Luck!

One is fusion the other is fission. I'll leave it to you to sort out the details.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
