Nuclear Fission
|
|
is a process of splitting a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei. Accompanied with the release of enormous amount of energy from the mass defect
|
|
|
is a self-sustaining reaction in which the products of the reaction can initiate another similar reaction. Accompanied with the release of enormous amount of energy from the mass defect
|
|
|
is a process of combination of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nuclei. Accompanied with the release of enormous amount of energy from the mass defect
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei and fusion is the combining of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus. The consequence of fission or fusion is the absorption or release of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. More neutrons are also released when a uranium atom splits. These neutrons continue to collide with other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over again.
