splitting the atom, and chain reaction.
In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons and lighter nuclei, which may eventually produce photons (in the form of gamma rays).
Spontaneous fission occurs naturally all the time in all fissionable materials, regardless of whether they are found in nature or in something like a nuclear weapon or a nuclear reactor. It is more unusual for fission to occur following neutron capture in natue, but it is precisely what we engineer nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors to do. Links can be found below so the curious investigator can go further, because there is a lot more to be learned down the road.
fission means to split apart
Nuclear fission is when nucleus of either a plutonium or uranium atom are fired at by neutrons. The neutrons make the nucleus unstable and so the nucleus splits and produces more neutrons, a fission product and a vast amount of energy. The energy produced propels the neutrons created during the process into another nucleus and starting the process again. This happens many times and is called a chain reaction.
In this process,any cell presses down or bends from the centre or even forms a temparory wall,can be divided into two different parts.This division is called fission process.
Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more nuclei.
Energy is released when the the mass of the nucleus of an atom is reduced by the release of neutrons and gamma photons during the process of nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission, the fission or "splitting" of an atomic nucleus, can happen in two basic ways. One is a form of natural radioactive decay called spontaneous fission. The atom just "splits" apart. The other involves the absorption of a neutron, and fission can occur as a result of this as well. Both spontaneous fission and neutron absorption are described in separate questions here on WikiAnswers. You'll find links to them below.
Energy is formed and released following destruction of mass, E=mc2
They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
No. Fission is a process.
nuclear fission
Production of Nuclear energy involves fission. The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons in the form of gamma rays, and releases a very large amount of energy.
Nuclear fission
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
No. Nuclear fission is a process that involves the nucleus, not electron shells.
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
Nuclear fission involves splitting an atom and creates radioactive waste. Nuclear fusion involves bringing an atom together and creates no radiative waste
Mitosis involves copying the cell's nucleus. Novanet :)
There are two types of nuclear power, fission power and fusion power. Fission power involves splitting an atom to produce energy. Fusion power involves combining two atoms together to make one bigger atom which produces energy.
sexual reproduction involves the production of gametes ie with half of the number of chromosomes of the corresponding species.asexual reproduction does not involves the production of gametes,it occurs by fission and fragmentation.
Mitosis involves copying the cell's nucleus orhave half the normal number of chromosomes.
