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...

What is induced 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.

What is splitting of atomic nuclei?

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.
