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.

Do fission products have smaller nuclei than reactants?

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.


What change occurs during nuclear fission?

Elements are created that differ from the reactants.


Why are fission products of same mass as the reactants rarely formed?

During fission, the energy released comes from converting mass into energy (calculated by Einstein's famous equation: E = mc2). Therefore, if a fission reaction releases energy, and it does, that energy came from converting mass into energy, thus reducing the mass of the reactants.


Why is the mass of reactants less than the product in nuclear fission?

A part of mass is transformed in energy.
