What is bond fission?
Bond fission is the breaking of bonds in a chemical reaction. (Organic Chemistry)
Which describes what happens during a chain reaction?
Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.
If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
Is nuclear fission a physical or chemical change and why?
I would say it is actually both. Fusion itself is a chemical reaction but it is powered by a physical feature named gravity.
Are fireworks nuclear fission?
No. Fireworks rely on chemical rather than nuclear energy. They are driven by an oxidation-reduction reaction. Fireworks were developed centuries before we discovered nuclear fission.

Which describes what happens during a chain reaction?
Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.
What is a chemical chain reactionA chemical reaction that causes the next one.(for geoscience Nuclear fission and fusion)?
Share A chemical reaction that causes the next one
Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause?
A chain reaction
When burning a candle is there fission?
No. Burning a candle is a combustion reaction. As with all chemical reactions the energy released comes from the rearrangement of the electron clouds that form chemical bonds. The nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged.
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.
Why enormous energy is released in nuclear reaction?
This is due to the fact that the forces between nucleons are very strong - much stronger than the forces between atoms in a chemical reaction for example.
Is fission reaction chemical reaction?
A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
Is a nuclear fission a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
What is it called when neutrons released from a fission event cause other fission events in a continued self sustaining cascade?
A chain reaction
