In nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into two or more smaller pieces that are more stable, and releases energy in the process. The fission process also releases extra neutrons, which can then split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy. There are also ways to modulate and soak up the neutrons.

$Unit Conversions with Area and Volume To see all my Chemistry videos, check out http://socratic.org/chemistry How to use conversion factors to work with units like square feet, square inches, cubic feet, and cubic inches. You have to write the relationship and then square or cube both sides of the equation, and then you can use that to build a conversion factor fraction to cancel units and do dimensional analysis or factor label method.$
