Question

Which applies to fission? Check all that apply. A)involves the splitting of nuclei B)releases large amounts of energy C)takes place in the Sun D)releases radiation as a waste product E)occurs in nuclear power plants and is used to generate electricity F)plays a role in the production of essentially all elements heavier than helium.

Answer 1

Fission is the A.) splitting of the nucleiAn atom contains protons and neutrons in its central nucleus.Fission happens either through radioactive decay or when  it is bombarded by particles that are considered to be subatomic also known as neutrinos. The result is a less compact mass, smaller than the originating nucleus.

Answer 2

The features that apply to fission include:

• Involves the splitting of nuclei.
• Releases large amounts of energy.
• Releases radiation as a waste product.
• Occurs in nuclear power plants and is used to generate electricity.

What is nuclear fission?

• It refers to the splitting of an atom to access energy.
• It allows for the production of electricity through the use of nuclear power.

Nuclear fission releases such high amounts of energy that nuclear power plants use it to generate electricity. It can however lead to radiation being released.
