QUESTION

Fission occurs when the nucleus of an atom is broken into smaller pieces, generally after having been hit from a neutron from a neighboring atom's radioactive decay. When the nucleus breaks apart, it gives off more neutrons, which can cause the reaction to continue to other adjacent atoms.
