Nuclear fission involves heavy nuclei splitting into lighter, more stable nuclei, releasing energy in the process.
Nuclear fission is the process by which heavy nuclei split into lighter and more stable nuclei, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process. For example, when uranium-235 is hit with a slow neutron, it absorbs it, becomes unstable, and splits into two medium-mass nuclei, releasing energy and more neutrons. The mass lost during fission is converted into energy.
