The fission of a heavy nucleus gives, in general, two smaller nuclei, two or three neutrons, some `beta-`particles and some `gamma-`radiation. It is always true that the nuclei produced.

The splitting of a heavy nuclei with neutron into two smaller nuclei and large amount of energy is known as ………………….. .

The splitting of a heavy nuclei with neutron into two smaller nuclei and large amount of energy is known as ………………….. .

What happens to the position of an element in the periodic table when its nucleus emits (a) an alpha -particle, (b) a beta -particle and (c ) gamma radiation ? Give reason for your answer.

Staements I: The fission of a heavy nucleus is always accompanied with the neutrons along with two product nuclei. Staements II: For a lighter stble nuclide, the N/Z ratio has to be slightly greater than 1.
