Nuclear fission is a process in which an atom's nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
During nuclear fission, the bonds between the particles that make up the atom's nucleus are broken, resulting in a release of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Fission equations are mathematical representations of the nuclear reactions that occur during the process of nuclear fission. They show the initial reactants, the resulting fragments, and the energy released.
Scientists use fission equations to understand and predict the outcomes of nuclear reactions, as well as to design and analyze nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Fission fragments are the smaller nuclei that are produced when an atom's nucleus splits during nuclear fission. These fragments can vary in size and composition, depending on the atom that undergoes fission.
