What is Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy. This happens when a heavy atom, like uranium or plutonium, absorbs a neutron and becomes unstable.
Why Does Fission Produce Large Energy?
Fission releases energy because a small amount of mass is converted into energy, according to Einstein’s E=mc² equation. This energy is released as heat and radiation.
Illustration: Nuclear power plants use fission reactions to generate electricity by harnessing this energy.
