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.

What does happen within the sun is it fission or fusion?
Fusion only, there are no heavy elements like uranium so there can be no fission taking place
How can nuclear changes occur?
These can happen by fission where a nucleus splits into two parts on absorbing a neutron, or by radioactive decay.
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
Is fission a particle?
No. Fission is a process.
What is a fission equation?
Nuclear Fission has not an equation.
What does fission happen in?
Nuclear reactor
What does happen within the sun is it fission or fusion?
Fusion only, there are no heavy elements like uranium so there can be no fission taking place
What must happen for an electron to move to a higher energy level?
Fission
Where in space do fission and fussion reactions happen and what is the result?
Fission and fussion manly occar in a star or a sun. The reason that a star or a sun is bright is because of the heat that is given off of from fission and fussion.
What will happen when you mix bleach and peroxide?
it will create nuclear fission that is highly potent
What happen when fission react to the nucleus?
The nucleus splits into two parts, which are called the fission products. Free neutrons are also released, and some gamma radiation.
What is possibly happen to neutrons produce in a fission reactor?
The neutrons produced by fission in a nuclear fission reactor during the process of thermalization to be available for a new generation of fission could be subject to:absorption in fuelabsorption in non fuel reactor components (moderator, clad, structural material, ...)fast leakageresonance capture in U-238fast fission in U-238thermal leakage
Which of the following might or might not happen during binary fission?
The daughter cells may or may not separate
Where in space do fission and fusion happen?
Strictly speaking nowhere in space, because space has no matter in it. Fusion happens in the stars. Fission may occur in some planets somewhere in the universe but not in our solar system
What is likely to happen to atoms like plutonium with many neutrons and a heavy nucleus?
Radioactive disintegration or spontaneous fission
How can nuclear changes occur?
These can happen by fission where a nucleus splits into two parts on absorbing a neutron, or by radioactive decay.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
