Nuclear fission occurs when neutrons strike uranium atoms, splitting them into barium and krypton while releasing energy and additional neutrons; this process can be controlled in nuclear reactors or become uncontrolled in atomic bombs, with a single fission releasing approximately 200 million electron volts of energy.

✨ Nuclear Fission ☢️|| Experiment with s2o #science#nuclearfission #physics #viral#shortsAdded:
Inside a tiny atom, there is a enough energy to destroy a city only if weird chain reaction can occur. Atom, a tiny particles which contains subatomic particles electron, proton, and neutron.
They have empty space, but nuclei have stored huge energy. According to Einstein equation E equal to mc squared, energy and mass are interchangeable.
Tiny mass can produce huge energy. But in case of nuclear fission reactions, when a neutrons hit the uranium isotope, it is splitted into two nuclei, barium and krypton. Now, three things happens.
Energy release, more neutron release.
>> [music] >> These neutrons will hit further other atoms. At that moment, two types of reaction occur, controlled or uncontrolled reaction. Controlled reactions are occur within the nuclear reactor >> [music] >> where the numbers of neutrons can be regulated. In case of uncontrolled reaction, when a one [music] neutrons hit the uranium, it is splitted into two, and these two hit the other further atoms, and it continue for a weird chain reaction occur, and everything happen in a microsecond. As a result, enormous amount of energy release. Same thing happens in the atomic bomb.
One fission release about 200 million strong volts of energy. Splitting of atom is not scary, but the way we split, it could be dangerous.
