Where does fission happen in universe?
There is evidence that it did occur on earth some two billion years ago, in a few places with high levels of uranium present. As far as the rest of the Universe, we just don't know.
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
What is fission product?
Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?
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.
What must happen for an electron to move to a higher energy level?
Fission
Where in space do fission and fussion reactions happen and what is the result?
Fission and fussion manly occar in a star or a sun. The reason that a star or a sun is bright is because of the heat that is given off of from fission and fussion.
What happen when fission react to the nucleus?
The nucleus splits into two parts, which are called the fission products. Free neutrons are also released, and some gamma radiation.
What is possibly happen to neutrons produce in a fission reactor?
The neutrons produced by fission in a nuclear fission reactor during the process of thermalization to be available for a new generation of fission could be subject to:absorption in fuelabsorption in non fuel reactor components (moderator, clad, structural material, ...)fast leakageresonance capture in U-238fast fission in U-238thermal leakage
Which of the following might or might not happen during binary fission?
The daughter cells may or may not separate
How does fission happen?
Fission is a nuclear reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of a large amount of energy and more neutrons. This process is triggered by bombarding the atom with a neutron, causing it to become unstable and break apart. Fission is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is likely to happen to atoms like plutonium with many neutrons and a heavy nucleus?
Radioactive disintegration or spontaneous fission
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
Can fission happen on earth?
Yes, all natural radiation (in the rocks) is a result of fission (but this fission is not part of a chain reaction like in a fission bomb). However, it is theoretically possible for natural processes to concentrate radioactive elements (uranium) to the extent where a natural nuclear fission reactor (a chain reaction like in a nuclear power plant) will form. Oklo in in Gabon is the only known location for this to have happened and consists of 16 sites at which self-sustaining nuclear fission reactions took place approximately 1.7 billion years ago.

How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

What would happen if nuclear fission happened too quickly?
A criticality event, and high risk of loss of life and property.
