There are choices for this question namely:

(1) titration
(2) fission
(3) electrolysis
(4) neutralization

This is in the case of the atomic nucleus found in atoms composed of neutrons and protons. The correct answer is fission or nuclear fission to be specific. A heavy nucleus such that of high molecular weight compounds such as uranium is split into two lighter nuclei with subsequent release of massive nuclear energy.
