Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In nuclear fission, what is typically released as a result of the reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand that nuclear fission is a process where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller parts.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when the nucleus splits, it releases a large amount of energy.
  • Step 3: Identify that additional neutrons are also released during this process.
  • Step 4: Know that these released neutrons can cause more fission reactions, leading to a chain reaction.
