simply splitting of a larger particle in to many smaller particles... when a faster elentron is made to collide over an atom then the atom will splits to produce a larger energy(heat radiations)... the term nuclear fission is because the fast electron will actually hits the nucleas of that atom to produce energy...
You must not ask "what element", but "what isotope". Uranium-235 is one example of an ISOTOPE that is appropriate for nuclear fission. Uranium-238 is the same for chemical reactions, but for purposes of nuclear reactions, different isotopes must be considered to be different types of atoms.
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Actually it does.
a fission nuclear reactor -binky
A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station.This consists of:a nuclear fission reactoran electric generation facilityone or more cooling towers to dispose of waste heat in the form of water vapora spent fuel rod storage pool of water (to keep the rods cool as their fission products decay)a manned control roometc.
The synonym for nuclear fissure is nuclear division or nuclear cleavage.

nuclear fission
Nuclear fission refers to the process of dividing the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
nuclear fission
We might think of induced nuclear fission as a fission reaction that occurs when a neutron is captured by, say, a uranium-235 atom and that atomic nucleus undergoes fission as a result. Most all of the fission events within a nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon are induced. Given this, we might then compare that fission event to a spontaneous fission event wherein the atomic nucleus of a uranium-235 atom spontaneously undergoes fission without having captured a neutron.
You think probable to nuclear fission.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
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.
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
