No. Fission is a process.

What particle is captured by other nuclei in a nuclear chain reaction triggering additional fission events?
The neutron is the particle that undergoes those capture events resulting in fission.
What is the particle required to continue the chain process of Uranium fission?
The neutron
What type of particle is captured by a nucleus during a fission reaction?
The nucleus splits to form two or more smaller nuclei.
Why does a fission reaction occur more readily than a fusion reaction?
Fission reactions are sustained by normal decay of radioactive material. All you need is a sufficient quantity of it in a small enough space and you can have a controlled or uncontrolled reaction. Fusion requires the collision of atoms at very high energies, something that is not easily done. That requires a particle accelerator or the blast from a fission reaction to achieve.
Why is it eaier to fission uranium 235 with neutrons than alpha particles?
A neutron is smaller and has no charge, so it is able to penetrate to the nucleus far better than an alpha particle (which is larger in size, and has a charge that is repelled by the nucleus). So the neutron is more able to cause critical instability and fission the nucleus.
What particle is captured by other nuclei in a nuclear chain reaction triggering additional fission events?
The neutron is the particle that undergoes those capture events resulting in fission.
What is the particle required to continue the chain process of Uranium fission?
The neutron
What are the people that study fission fusion of atoms?
Particle physicists or nuclear physicists.
What is the process if the particle of a nuclear reaction is also one of the products?
nuclear fission
What particle is nessicary to start a fisson reation?
A fission reaction in uranium requires neutrons.
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
What type of particle is captured by a nucleus during a fission reaction?
The nucleus splits to form two or more smaller nuclei.
Why thermal neutron has greater chance to induce fission?
The thermal neutron is possibly the most energetic and powerful form of radiation. Apart from extensive alpha particle bombardment in certain fissile nuclides, neutrons are the only particle which effectively sustains a chain fission reaction.
What is it called when a particle of an atom that flies off when a uranium atom is split?
Probably you think at fission products.
What is the definition for nuclear fission?
A nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy.
What particle is used to start a nuclear fission reacion?
it might me neutron or atom idk but if u know then improve it thank you ~_~
How does the sun produce flames without oxygen?
Fission and Fusion, there aren't any "flames" it's just superheated plasma/particle's.
