An atom is the smallest part of an element's basic unit, which has a nucleus made of protons and neutrons, as well as electrons in orbits. When a neutron strikes an atom, the heavy nucleus of the atom splits into two lighter nuclei, a process known as fission. This reaction continues to emit neutrons, much like a chain reaction. This process generates a tremendous amount of energy, which is converted into electrical energy in nuclear power plants. Explore this PPT to learn more about the subject.
