Spontaneous fission (SF) is a form of radioactive decay that is found only in very heavy chemical elements. The nuclear binding energy of the elements reaches its maximum at an atomic mass number of about 56 (e.g., iron-56); spontaneous breakdown into smaller nuclei and a few isolated nuclear particles becomes possible at greater atomic mass numbers. (Wikipedia).

Nuclear Fission; splitting the atom for beginners: from fizzics.org
There are notes to support this video here:https://www.fizzics.org/nuclear-fission/ Nuclear Fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into two or more parts by hitting it with a small particle, almost always a neutron (a proton would be repelled from the positive nucleus and an el

Teach Astronomy - Fission as an Energy Source
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Fission is such an efficient energy source that humans have long tried to harness it. A massive atomic nucleus can be split by a neutron. Since the decay of a massive nucleus can also release a neutron, this raises the possibility of a chain reaction where

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The decay of a massive atomic nucleus with the release of particles or energy or the splitting of a massive nucleus into two or more pieces is called fission. In fission the sum of the fragments is less than the mass of the original nucleus. The excess is r
