Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The key term corresponding to the definition “an atom with a specific number of protons and neutrons” is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In nuclear fission, the spontaneous splitting of the heavy nucleus into the lighter one with released of the energy takes place. As, many heavy nuclei are unstable and decay by spontaneous nuclear fission, only limited number of nuclides undergo nuclear fission.
