<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted. </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>
