Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and ... 
two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy. [DOC] [TLE] Basic Nuclear Science Information [PAR] Mar 30, 2007 ... The number of protons in the nucleus, Z, is called the atomic number. .... Each 
particular isotope has its own half-life. ... Fusion is a nuclear process in which two 
light nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus. ... Fission is a nuclear 
process in which a heavy nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei. [DOC] [TLE] Fission and Fusion - Chemistry LibreTexts [PAR] Feb 27, 2016 ... This missing mass is called mass defect, which is the nuclear energy, ... Nuclear 
fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two lighter ones. .... In a nuclear 
fusion reaction, lighter nuclei combine to produce a heavier nucleus. ... Example 
21.6.3 and its corresponding exercise demonstrate the enormous... [DOC] [TLE] Nuclear fission - Wikipedia [PAR] In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear 
reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits 
into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). ... The two nuclei produced are most often of 
comparable but slightly different sizes, typically with a mass ratio of products of 
about 3 to 2,... [DOC] [TLE] Nuclear binding energy - Wikipedia [PAR] Nuclear binding energy is the energy that would be required to disassemble the 
nucleus of an atom into its component parts. These component parts are 
neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons. The binding energy 
of nuclei is due to the attractive forces that hold these ... When a large nucleus 
splits into pieces, excess energy is emitted as photons... [DOC] [TLE] Basics of Nuclear Physics and Fission - Institute for Energy and ... [PAR] The mass of an atom lies almost entirely in its nucleus since protons and
