Question by shish2kabob: How is the energy is fission created?
I know that because of the extra neutrons in the uranium 235 nucleus is why the nuclear force is weakened and is unstable, so when a neutron bombards it the bond breaks, fission products are produces, with 2 to 3 neutrons, but where does the energy come from? Does the energy come from when the nuclear force is broken?
