what Nuclear Fission explain with example

Answer 1

What Is Nuclear Fission?



 A good example of fission is the splitting of a uranium nucleus. Encyclopaedia Britannica/UIG / Getty Images

Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei accompanied by energy release. The original heavy atom is termed the parent nucleus and the lighter nuclei are daughter nuclei. Fission is a type of nuclear reaction which may occur spontaneously or as a result of a particle striking an atomic nucleus.

Example of Nuclear Fission

Energy is required in order for fission to occur. Sometimes this is supplied naturally, from radioactive decay of an element. Other times, energy is added to a nucleus to overcome the nuclear binding energy holding the protons and neutrons together. In nuclear power plants, energetic neutrons are directed into a sample of the isotope uranium-235. The energy from the neutrons can cause the uranium nucleus to break in any of a number of different ways. A common fission reaction produces barium-141 and krypton-92. In this particular reaction, one uranium nucleus breaks into a barium nucleus, krypton nucleus, and two neutrons. These two neutrons can go on to split other uranium nuclei, resulting in a nuclear chain reaction.



The reason fission occurs is that energy upsets the balance between the electrostatic repulsion between positively-charged protons and the strong nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together. The nucleus oscillates, so the repulsion may overcome the short-range attraction, causing the atom to split.

heyyy matee ✌✌
Nuclear fission is the process in which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy. In other words, fission the process in which a nucleus is divided into two or more fragments, and neutrons and energy are released..
