Nuclear chain reaction
Step-by-step explanation:
A
uranium atom absorbs a neutron
and do fission into to new atoms releasing neutrons and large amount of
binding energy
.
The binding energy is used for further propagation of reaction.
This causes release of more uranium atoms which collide and do fission
causing release of new uranium atoms hence the reaction propagates
in the form of chain hence called as
nuclear chain reaction.
