What else can I help you with?
What is needed to produce different isotopes during fission?
The fission reaction must be possible.
Which are not products of the fission of uranium?
Carbon dioxide is not a product of the fission of uranium. When uranium undergoes fission, it typically produces two or more fission fragments, such as krypton and barium isotopes, along with neutrons and a large amount of heat.
What element used in fission?
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
Is fission always with uranium?
No, fission can occur with other isotopes as well, such as plutonium and thorium. Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are the most commonly used isotopes in nuclear fission reactions due to their ability to sustain a chain reaction.
Atoms that naturally undergo nuclear fissions are called?
These are called fissile or fissionable. Fissile isotopes undergo fission, producing sufficient neutrons of sufficient power that a chain reaction can happen, if there is enough of the isotope to support it. The mass sufficient to support a chain reaction is called critical. Atoms of fissionable isotopes will undergo fission when a sufficiently energetic neutron collides with them, but the neutrons they emit when they divide are either insufficient in number or insufficient in energy to sustain an chain reaction. There is a third type of material that can undergo fission, called fertile, which is isotopes that can be caused to capture neutrons, changing into fissile or fissionable isotopes, so the fission does not happen to atoms of the fertile material directly, but to the atoms of the isotopes they become.

What does it means if an isotope is fissile?
If an isotope is fissile, it means that it can undergo nuclear fission reactions when bombarded by neutrons. This process releases a large amount of energy and more neutrons that can sustain a chain reaction. Fissile isotopes are commonly used in nuclear reactors and weapons.
Why are neutrons fired at the uranium nuclei?
Under bombardment with thermal neutrons a nuclear fission is produced with the isotopes 235U and 233U; a formidable energy is released after fission.
If a fusion reaction produces no appreciable radioactive isotopes then why does a hydrogen bomb produce significant radioactive fallout?
A hydrogen bomb is actually a fission-fusion-fission reaction. The primary fission trigger (plutonium) supplies the energy to induce fusion, but then the fusion energy is used to initiate the secondary fission, which is a large amount of uranium. (in a "clean" H bomb, the uranium is replaced with lead, making it much weaker) also, the radiation will affect the surrounding area, creating a large number of isotopes, dramatically increasing the radioactive fallout.-Akilae
What three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission?
Three isotopes that can undergo nuclear fission are uranium-235, plutonium-239, and uranium-233. When these isotopes absorb a neutron, they become unstable and split into smaller fragments, releasing energy in the process.
What makes plutonium good for bombs?
The isotopes 239Pu and 241Pu are easily fissionable; also the isotopes of plutonium has a small criticall mass and the energy released by fission is enormous.
A process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Nuclear fission
Can Uranium 235 be split by Krypton?
The fission of uranium-235 release krypton and barium (and other isotopes) as fission products.I don't know if the fusion of uranium and krypton is possible in laboratory.
