Fission

  Definition - the process of releaseing energy when the mass between the product nuclei and the reactants has been concerted into engery in order to obtain a much larger percentage of nuclei of a target invovled in relasesing energy.

Important features of:

  - additional neutrons are emmited
           - leads to "chain reaction" of neighboring molecules
  - low yield of reaction

How it works

      - process produces ((Fission Products)) which are "unstable radioactive isotopes produced when a uranium nucleus is split after captureing a neuron.
      - neutrons trigger the target nucleus causing it to split into many different components such as:
             - ((neutrons)), fission product
