Hello!

The fission of an atom that has a large atomic number can be induced by bombarding the atom with neutrons.

Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy nucleus divides into two or more lighter nuclei. This reaction is induced by the bombarding of neutrons into the nucleus, making it unstable (like throwing an orange to a perfectly arranged orange pyramid at the supermarket). The unstable nucleus breaks down into lighter elements, releasing more neutrons which contribute to the chain reaction.

Have a nice day!

What is the definition of light in one sentence
bulgar [2K]

The dictionary definiton of light is:

the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.

Light is made of subatomic particles called photons, which jumps electron shells when they're excited, effecting the electromagnetic spectrum, creating visible light.

Hope this helps. Might not as I'm not perfect on this topic yet.
