Question #3
The process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into two lighter nuclei of comparable masses is known as:
A. Isotope formation
B. Radioactive decay
C. Nuclear fission
D. Nuclear fusion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nuclear fission is the process where a heavy, unstable nucleus (like Uranium-235) is split into two smaller, stable nuclei when bombarded with a neutron. This process releases a massive amount of energy and more neutrons, triggering a chain reaction. Nuclear fusion is the opposite process (combining light nuclei).
