Thebond energy in an atomic nucleus are greater than the energy of chemical bonds.
The binding enegy of a nucleon is 7,6 MeV.
Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.
Bond fission is a chemical process in which a chemical bond in a molecule is broken, resulting in the formation of two separate ions, radicals, or new molecules. This process can be induced by various means such as heat, light, or chemical interactions.
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
A nuclear reaction does not involve the breaking or forming of chemical bonds between atoms. Instead, it involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, such as nuclear fission or fusion. Additionally, a nuclear reaction does not typically release energy through the rearrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell like a chemical reaction does.
Nuclear fission is a physical change because it involves the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy, without altering the chemical composition of the atoms involved. In contrast, chemical changes involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances with different chemical properties.
A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.
Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.

This process is called a nuclear chain reaction. Neutrons released from one fission event trigger other fission events, creating a self-sustaining reaction that releases energy and more neutrons, continuing the chain reaction.
No. Burning a candle is a combustion reaction. As with all chemical reactions the energy released comes from the rearrangement of the electron clouds that form chemical bonds. The nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged.

To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
The energy released is nuclear energy.
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
The fission process in a nuclear reactor which produces the thermal energy used in the steam cycle, is called a chain reaction because nuclei of U-235 and Pu-239 fission on absorbing a neutron, and the fission causes further neutrons to be released, thus a self sustaining reaction is started which is controlled to run at a steady power level.
