If a Uranium 235 isotope nucleus is impacted by a 'thermal neutron it can split into 2 new elements Barium and Krypton. There is a release of energy and the ejection of more neutrons to continue the chain reaction.This was proposed By Otto Frisch and Lise Meitner

Which is an example of a highly unstable isotope that is often used in fission reactions?

Uranium-235 (U-235) is an example of a highly unstable isotope that is used in fission reactions. It undergoes spontaneous fission, releasing a large amount of energy and additional neutrons, which can then go on to induce fission in other uranium atoms, leading to a chain reaction.

Is an example of nuclear fission?

An example of nuclear fission might be a nuclear weapon. In this device, sub-critical masses of fissionable material are driven together by conventional explosives. This "assembles" a critical mass, and a chain reaction will follow. That is a nuclear fission chain reaction. In another example, a nuclear reactor has its control rods pulled and achieves criticality. It is brought to operating temperature and generates heat to make steam and drive turbines. The reactor operates on the principle of nuclear fission.

No. it is an example of nuclear fission (splitting of nucleus).


What is a fission equation?

A fission equation describes the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy. An example of a fission reaction is the splitting of a uranium nucleus into two smaller nuclei, along with the release of neutrons and energy.
