Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons and lighter nuclei, which may eventually produce photons (in the form of gamma rays). Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction which can release large amounts of energy both as electromagnetic radiation and as kinetic energy of the fragments (heating the bulk material where fission takes place). Fission is a form of nuclear transmutation because the resulting fragments are not the same element as the original atom.

  • how does Nuclear Fission relate to E=mc² ???

  • @SMCUBEKOREAN Energy = mass times squared of velocity of light,

    which is c constant = 3x10^8M/s, without constant Energy and mass will be in directly proportional to Mass, which means even Large energy can be converted to small Mass and this small mass can be converted to very large energy any kind of mass can be converted to energy. U and me or objects rocks everything which consist of mass can be converted to energy !! mass is energy and energy is mass. mass = uranium 236

  • E=mc^2 = Energy equals mass to what? Can you please explain?

  • @hurlingstar1 Energy = mass times squared of velocity of light,

    which is c constant = 3x10^8M/s, without constant Energy and mass will be in directly proportional to Mass, which means even Large energy can be converted to small Mass and this small mass can be converted to very large energy any kind of mass can be converted to energy. U and me or objects rocks everything which consist of mass can be converted to energy !!

  • @scientificboysclub yeah it's the speed of light in a vaccum correct me if I"m wrong ,but doesn't light travel at about 19,000,000,000 miles a hour or pretty close to that right

  • @thejoeking97 ...670 616 629 miles per hour.....

  • @thejoeking97 ...670 616 629 miles per hour.....186 282.397 miles per second

  • woahhh this is so awesome. and i get it too =D

  • @SMCUBEKOREAN This guy doesn't explain it well enough. The products of a fission reaction are two fission fragments, a small one and a big one, somewhere between 2-5 neutrons, plus a bunch of energy (~211 MeV). there is the same number of particles before and after the reaction, however there is a small difference in mass. This is because the binding energy (weak nuclear force) is less for the two fission fragments. Look up "mass defect". Also, its uranium-235 thats fissionable, NOT 236.

  • and this is how you get a spontaneous boner.

  • I'm all boned up fucking bible thumpers this is probably have the universe was created

  • would this be a good way to power our planet

  • @RobDeManc I think you're right.

  • @LokiClock So I wonder if it is correct to think of charge as something associated with a particle that produces an electric field. Does that mean a neutron has no electric field?

  • @RobDeManc Okay, the direction and strengths of the field are the force that would be exerted on a 1-coloumb positive "test charge." So it's outward for a proton (+ charge) because if you placed a proton near it it would be pushed outward, and inward for an electron because it would pull the test proton inward. That's not a very deep explanation, but it is an explanation.
