Yes, fission products typically have smaller nuclei than the reactants. During fission, a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons. These fission products are generally lighter and more stable than the original nucleus.
Uranium-235, plutonium-239, and thorium-232 are examples of reactants used in nuclear fission reactions. These heavy elements can split into smaller nuclei when bombarded with neutrons, releasing a large amount of energy.
Products of a nuclear fission reaction typically include smaller atomic nuclei (fission fragments), neutrons, and a release of energy. However, products that are not generated in a fission reaction include unchanged parent nuclei, as they undergo transformation, and stable isotopes that do not result from fission. Additionally, elements heavier than uranium, such as some transuranic elements, are not direct products of fission but may be formed from neutron capture processes.

The products of nuclear fission are typically two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of energy in the form of gamma radiation and kinetic energy of the fission fragments. Fission of a heavy nucleus can also produce neutrons, which can go on to induce further fission reactions in a chain reaction.
Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.

Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.

nuclear fission
fission- is a process in which the nuclei of radioactive atoms are split in to two or more smaller nuclei.
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
Yes, the results of nuclear fission include the production of lighter nuclei. The originating atom has split into smaller pieces.
