Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In nuclear fission, what is released as a result of the reaction? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when the nucleus splits, it releases a large amount of energy.
  • Step 3: Note that in addition to energy, the fission process also releases extra neutrons.
  • Step 4: Realize that these released neutrons can cause more fission reactions, leading to a chain reaction.
