What can fission be used to do?
Fission gives off heat, neutrons, and fission products. Each of these things has different uses. The heat is the primary product. It is typically used to boil water, the steam being used to power a turbine, which turns a generator to make electricity. Neutrons can be used to turn atoms of one element into atoms of another element. For example, tritium can be manufactured by exposing hydrogen in water to neutrons. The tritium, in turn, has uses ranging from nuclear fusion to tracing flow in ecological systems. Some of the products of fission have their own uses and are easiest obtained from materials that have been in reactor cores. An example is cesium-137, whihc is a fission product, and has uses in medicine and industry.
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.
How is fission used to calculate the energy required?
You don't use fission to do the actual calculation. Fission can RESULT in energy being released, though.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What is the importance of fission?
the importance of fissionis to find out the nucleus of a particular heavy element splits into two nuclie of lighter elements
What is the element first used for fission in the atomic bomb production?
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive?
Uranium
What element is usually used in atomic fission?
Uranium
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What element used in fission?
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reaction is?
Uranium
What is the only naturally occurring element used for nuclear fission?
Plutonium I think.
What element is used in nuclear fission recactors?
Usually uranium with various U-235 percentages.
Is used in nuclear fission?

What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
Uranium makes for an excellent element for nuclear fission. Hydrogen is most commonly used for nuclear fusion.
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

What element was used to make a atomic bomb?
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
