Question
Write notes on fission reaction.
Answer
In fission reactions, the nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller nuclei, along with the release of a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This process is typically initiated by the absorption of a neutron by a heavy nucleus, such as uranium-235. Fission reactions are used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity, but can also be harnessed for destructive purposes in nuclear weapons.
