What is nuclear fission?
explain it
Answers
Answer:
Nuclear fission: In nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into two or more smaller pieces that are more stable, and releases energy in the process. The fission process also releases extra neutrons, which can then split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy.

Nuclear fission is a phenomenon in which the nucleus of an element is broken down into two simpler nuclei due to the bombardment by high energy neutrons .
In this reaction ,large amount of energy is released.
In fission the differences in the mass (∆m) of original nucleus and the product of resultant nuclei gets converted into energy.
The value of this energy can be determined by the famous equation , given by "ALBERT EINSTEIN " in 1905.
E=mc^2
Where c is the speed of light in vaccum
(3×10^8m/s).
