Examples of fission
what are you asked to do exactly ?
just give examples, I presume?
And also, do you understand what fission is? or do you need help understanding that?
fusion means coming together, fission means splitting apart So, nuclear fission means that something is splitting in two...based on the word "nuclear" fission--what do you think is splitting into two?
There is only 1 naturally occurring example of this: Uranium 235 And it splits into Kr 92 and Ba 141 Here is something to reinforce what I have been explaining: http://chemistry.about.com/od/nuclearchemistry/a/Nuclear-Fission-Nuclear-Fusion.htm So, in the example i just talked about, U 235 takes on an extra neutron which causes it to split into Kr and Ba (fission) and releases energy and some neutrons
