Question

Define the process of nuclear fission?

Answer 1

The reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, with the emersion of a large amount of energy when it is bombarded with slow moving neutron is called nuclear fission.

Answer 2

Explanation:

_________❤NUCLEAR FISSION ❤____

The process of splitting of heavy nucles by the bombardment with small slow moving neutron in to many small particles with the release of large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is mainly done to utilise a nuclear energy.

In nuclear fission, radioactive elements also realese like bariyam and krypton with the energy.

There are two ways to utilise nuclear energy :

1. controlled chain reaction

In this reaction, again slow moving neutron produced that further initiates or continues the reaction.

2. Uncontrolled chain reaction :

IN this reaction it is not possible to control a amount of energy realese.

IT is mainly used to prepare atomic bomb.

Nuclear energy can be harness by nuclear power plants.

IT IS very difficult related to the disposal of waste material produced in nuclear power stations because that is radioactive in nature which caused many diseases.
