Why are fission products of same mass as the reactants rarely formed?

During fission, the energy released comes from converting mass into energy (calculated by Einstein's famous equation: E = mc2). Therefore, if a fission reaction releases energy, and it does, that energy came from converting mass into energy, thus reducing the mass of the reactants.


Nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?

During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.


The contolled release of nuclear energy in reactor is accomplished by?

Nuclear energy is released during: fission radioactive decay man-induced splitting of atoms
