Which of the following terms describes the self-sustaining process of fission?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chain reaction is a self-sustaining process of fission, where one nucleus splits and releases neutrons that go on to split other nuclei, releasing more neutrons, and so on. This creates a chain reaction that continues until the fuel source is depleted. Binding energy (A) refers to the amount of energy required to hold an atomic nucleus together. Alpha emission (C) is a type of radioactive decay where an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) is emitted from the nucleus. Gamma radiation (D) is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted during radioactive decay. Radioactivity (E) refers to the spontaneous emission of particles or radiation from an unstable nucleus.
