Nuclear fission is not possible in laboratory. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Nuclear Fission:** - Nuclear fission is the process in which a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of energy. This process typically involves heavy elements like Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. 2. **Conditions Required for Nuclear Fission:** - For nuclear fission to occur, certain conditions must be met. One of the primary conditions is the requirement of extremely high temperatures, typically in the range of \(10^6\) to \(10^7\) Kelvin. ...
