Question

Does fission release a lot of energy

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei (usually large nuclei). When large nuclei, such as uranium$-235$, and fission, energy is released.
2. During nuclear fission reactions, a small neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it into smaller atoms, and produces massive amounts of energy from atoms.
3. A large amount of energy is released in the form of heat and radiation.

Hence, fission released a lot of energy.
