Each fission of U235 releases 200 Mev (200 million electron volts) which in terms of Joules is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules
The fission bomb is known as the Nuclear bomb, or the A-bomb
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Binary fission produces two identical bacterial cells.
fission and the fusion types
Binary Fission :)
One valuable characteristic of fission is the amount of energy released for each disintegrating atom is substantial.
one of the largest known
One valuable characteristic of fission is the amount of energy released for each disintegrating atom is one of the largest known. If e is equal to mc squared, e is the amount of energy released and m is the amount of matter being fissioned. C is the speed of light which is squared.
substantial
Each fission of Uranium 235 releases about 200 MEV (million electron volts), which is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules (1 electron volt = 1.6 x 10-19 joules). That does not sound much, but there a lot of fissions per second in a reactor.
About 200 Mev per fission, which is a very small amount but then many many nuclei are fissioned per second
Energy
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
nuclear fission
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
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.
