A nuclear fission diagram typically shows a uranium or plutonium nucleus being bombarded by a neutron, splitting into two smaller nuclei, releasing additional neutrons and a significant amount of energy. The diagram helps illustrate the process of nuclear fission and its potential for generating power in a controlled manner in nuclear reactors.

Is fission process possible on earth?
About 3 billion years ago, when U235 was much more common, it did. Look up the Oklo natural reactors in Africa for an example. There were probably other sites too.Manmade nuclear power reactors.Manmade nuclear weapons.
What is an uncontrolled nuclear fission?
There are both controlled and uncontrolled fission reactions. The reactors in nuclear power plants and submarines make use of a controlled nuclear reaction. Nuclear weapons make use of an uncontrolled reaction.
What is produced when billions of uranium nuclei are split apart in a fission reaction?
When billions of uranium nuclei are split apart in a fission reaction, they release a large amount of energy, multiple new nuclei, and neutrons. This process is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.

The atomic particles given off as a result of nuclear fission are?
The fission of uranium 235 gives on average 2.5 neutrons per fission. Now you may think it an odd figure, surely it must be a whole number? But in fact not all U235 nuclei follow the same route, a range of different fission products is formed, and when the yield of fission products is analysed, the graph of yield against atomic weight shows two peaks, one around AW 90 and one around 135, so a range of different elemental nuclei results. As well as the neutrons, there is a gamma ray release from the fission. The fission releases about 200 Mev, of which about 160 goes into the fission fragments, 30 into the gamma ray, and the rest into the neutrons. Therefore most of this energy release goes into the fission fragments which recoil and give up their kinetic energy as heat within the fuel elements. Many of the fission products go through subsequent decay with beta release, and once the reactor has operated for a few days and the population of fission products has settled down, these decays add appreciably to the heat generated, and when the reactor is shutdown for maintenance or refuelling this decay heat has to continue to be removed. Some of the fission products act as strong neutron poisons, so this is another factor that has to be allowed for in designing the fuel cycle. I should perhaps add that for the nuclear chain reaction to continue at a steady rate, one neutron from each fission has to enter another U235 nucleus, causing another fission, and so on. So the excess neutrons have to be controlled, or the power would go on rising. This can be done with control rods or soluble poisons, to augment the fission product poisoning mentioned. This is more important with new fuel loaded, as the fuel charge is used up the amount of poisoning needed reduces, and eventually if more new fuel is not loaded, the reactor will gradually shut itself down. There is a good Wikipedia article on 'Nuclear Fission', and if you look at this and follow some of the links you will find out more. One of the articles even has an animated diagram showing the fission process.
Do nuclear bombs use nuclear fusion or fission?
Almost all modern nuclear explosive devices use some of each. The early atomic bombs used only fission. All hydrogen bombs use both fission and fusion. Some things you might want to look up are: boosted fission bomb, external electrical fusor neutron source, the plutonium "fission sparkplug" used in each stage of a hydrogen bomb, depleted uranium hydrogen bomb tamper can provide up to 90% of the total yield through fast fission.
What is nuclear energy made from?
In general, nuclear energy comes from the energy associated with atomic nuclei. There is nuclear fusion, which happens in stars and in fusion weapons, and there is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the "combining" of lighter atomic nuclei to create heavier ones, and many fusion reactions release energy. (Again, think of stars.) In contrast, nuclear fission is the "splitting" of atomic nuclei to release energy. The latter is technology that we've come to use fairly widely, and we have developed fission nuclear weapons and the nuclear reactor to tap nuclear energy via fission. Let's look at the latter device, the reactor. The fission of nuclear fuel (also known as atomic fuel, such as uranium or plutonium) is where we get nuclear energy. And what happens during nuclear fission is that the nuclei of fuel atoms absorb neutrons and fission (split), releasing lots of energy. In fission, that larger atomic nucleus breaks into a pair of smaller ones, and these fission fragments recoil with a lot of kinetic energy. The fuel traps the fission fragments, and the energy they came away with is converted into thermal energy in the fuel. We derive nuclear energy by tapping the energy of formation of atomic nuclei via fusion or fission. This is advanced technology that is less than a century old. We're still working to use it well and wisely.

What does a nuke look like?
Well, there are two types of Nuke, A bomb and a missile or commonly referred to as 'Nuclear Bomb' and 'Nuclear Warhead (or missile)'. It looks like a standard bomb in shape but not size. But there are two versions of Nuclear bomb, Fission and Fusion. The Fission one is more like a standard bomb but larger and the Fusion one looks like a Mini-Missile but is still dropped like a bomb. The Nuclear Warhead (or missile) looks like a missile obviously. The easiest way to answer this question is to look on Google Images and next time you wonder something like this, Please, Don't waste the good people's time to answer your stupidity and minor amount of common sense.

What is the chemical equation for nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not a chemical process, you don't add chemicals together to get a resultant compound as in chemical processes. When a uranium nucleus fissions, you get two results called the fission products, which are two lighter elements, but there is a range of elements produced, not every fission produces the same result. If you look up 'Fission Products' in wikipedia you will get some idea. See link below.
