Protons are not the active part in fission, they are just there. It is neutrons that determine the fission behaviour

Can Nuclear fission be controlled?

Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.


What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?

Protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons, are the particles responsible for nuclear reactions in the atom. The strong nuclear force binds these particles together in the nucleus, leading to nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.


What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?

Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.


Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?

Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
