Question

In the nuclear fission process:

  1. Helium is obtained in this process
  2. Large nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei
  3. Two smaller nuclei merger to form a big heavier nucleus
  4. The bonds between reactant breaks

hintHint:

The word fission means splitting or dividing.

The correct answer is: Large nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei


    • In nuclear fission, atoms split and release energy. All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission and most use uranium atoms.
    • In nuclear fission, neutrons collide with uranium atoms and split them apart, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
    • The fission of uranium atoms also releases more neutrons. These neutrons continue to collide with other uranium atoms, repeating the process over and over again.
