Question

what is mean by nuclear fission describe

Answer 1

Answer:

Nuclear fission is a process in nuclear physics in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei as fission products, and usually some by-product particles.

Answer 2

NUCLEAR FISSION :

The splitting of a large nucleus into smaller nuclei (plural form of nucleus) is called as nuclear fission.

• Fission is a form of elemental transmutation.
• Nuclear fission is one of the type of nuclear reaction.
• In the fission process, the amount of mass lost is $\sf 3.10 \times 10^{-11}$ Joule of energy.
• In this process, the energy is released from protons.
• Fission of heavier elements is an exothermic reaction (releases energy).
• It is a controlled reaction.
• Nuclear fission is also known as nuclear chain reaction.
