Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fission results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
Atomic fission bomb.
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
No. Fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases binding energy. That is the nuclear force.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion combines atomic nuclei to create heavier elements, while fission splits atomic nuclei into smaller fragments. Fusion powers the sun and hydrogen bombs, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
all nuclear explosives use some fission. even now.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.

The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
