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 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 particle released during the fission of uranium235?

One of the particles released during the fission of uranium-235 is a neutron. When uranium-235 undergoes fission, it splits into two smaller atoms along with several neutrons. These neutrons can then go on to initiate additional fission reactions in a chain reaction.


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.


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'

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 does nuclear fission and nuclear fusion get power?

How is fission used to calculate the energy required?

In nuclear fission, the energy released is calculated using the mass defect principle expressed by Einstein's equation E=mc^2, where E is energy, m is mass defect, and c is the speed of light. The mass defect is the difference in mass between the reactants and products of the fission reaction, and this mass defect is converted to energy according to Einstein's equation.
