During fission of uranium-235 with thermal neutrons the atom is splitted and many fission products are obtained.

In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron is introduced to a nuclear fuel such as uranium-235. What happens next?
a neutron is absorbed by an atom’s nucleus. (apex)
What is a neutron trigger used for?
Atomic nuclear fission.
Is used in nuclear fission?
all you need in nuclear fission is a large element (235Uranium) and a neutron, the neutron goes into the Uranium causeing it to split into smaller parts grapes.
A neutron is an unstable particle outside a nucleus but to start nuclear fission requires the slowing down of a neutron. How is nuclear fusion carried out in the case of uranium?
The neutrons released from Uranium are fast neutrons. In a reactor they are slowed down by a moderator. The moderator could be water, heavy water, graphite, among others. When the neutron is slowed down, it is more likely to create fission.This is what happens with the U-235. The U-238 does not fission, but it does transmute through a series of neutron absorption and beta decay etc. into plutonium which does fission also.

What is the splitting of a nucleus by a slow moving neutron?
nuclear fission
In the twentieth century what were two ways nuclear fission happened?
Nuclear fission happens spontaneously in nature. Uranium-235 does this, and is the only commonly occurring natural isotope that does. Nuclear fission can be induced by crashing a neutron into a fissionable atom. Some things other than Uranium-235 are fissionable, notably Uranium-238. Fission has been induced in various experiments. It happens in nuclear reactors and in nuclear bombs.
What is the process of a neutron splitting a nucleus into two parts?
Nuclear fission.
What is the particle required to continue the chain process of Uranium fission?
The neutron
