Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy element into two nuclei of
Answer Details
Nuclear fission is a process in which the nucleus of a heavy atom is split into two nuclei of smaller atoms. In this process, a large amount of energy is released, which can be harnessed for various applications. When the nucleus is split, the two resulting nuclei are not of nearly equal masses, but rather of unequal masses. Additionally, the process results in the release of energy and radiation. Therefore, the correct option is "unequal masses with a release of energy and radiation."
