U-235 splits into a variety of fission products, see the article linked below. Also 2 or 3 neutrons are ejected, with gamma radiation. The total energy per fission is about 200 MeV, or 3.2 x 10-13 Joules.

What is the chemical equation for nuclear fission?
It is not a chemical reaction! You can write U-235, with atomic number 92, plus a neutron, produces two fission product nuclei (which can be various combinations) plus two or three free neutrons. The limitations of notation on this site does not allow to show this properly. If you look up nuclear fission in Wikipedia you will see how such a reaction is written.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What is the nuclear equation for the beta decay of no-260?
Nobelium-260, formally 102260No, does not decay by beta decay. It decays by spontaneous fission with a half life of 106 milliseconds. For further information, please see the Related Link below.
Does Uranium 238 and 235 release neutrons in nature as they do in a fission process?
Yes, by spontaneous fission, but the nymber of neutrons is very small because the halflife of the spontenuoes fission is: for Uranium 235: (1,0 ± 0,3).1019 years for Uranium 238: (8,20 ± 0,10).1015years
What is true about the fission of uranium235?
The reaction produces more neutrons than were needed to start it.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
What is a fission equation?
Nuclear Fission has not an equation.
Atomic energy is the energy of heat mass or fluorescence?
Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'
With Chemical Reactions Fusion and Fission what is the order of their energy output?
1 kg of uranium235 will give as much energy as 1,500,000 kg of coal, so that indicates the difference between nuclear and chemical reaction output. Fusion gives a bit more per kg of fuel than does fission-but we don't know how to use it yet.
Write an equation state the conditions the type of fission and the mechanism for the reaction of Pentane and Chlorine?
Equation: C5H12 + 1/2Cl2 --> C5H12ClConditions: UV light Type of fission: homolytic Mechanism: ?
How does the mass-energy equation E mc2 relate to fission?
a large amount
Comparison of fission fusion and transmutation?
Fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei, mostly Uranium235 but also Plutonium 239, which is made to happen in nuclear fission reactors, and releases energy. Transmutation of elements occurs in this process as when the heavy nucleus splits, two lighter nuclei of other elements such as caesium, strontium, iodine, are formed, these are the fission products. Fusion is the joining together of two nuclei, the ones being experimented with being deuterium and tritium, both isotopes of hydrogen. These transmute to helium during fusion.
How do neutrons electrons and protons relate to nuclear energy?
These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
What is one bad use of uranium235?
can cause lung cancer
How does nuclear fission and nuclear fusion get power?
The mass defect due to fission or fusion converts to energy according to the equation: E = m c 2
What is the only thing that can get changed in a balancing equation?
It is the mass defect during a fission reaction. Enrgy evolved during a radioactive fission can be calculated using the formula gived by Einstein e =mc
