Chain Reaction
Chain reaction explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're trying to clean your house, but as you tidy one room, you accidentally mess up another, creating a never-ending cycle of cleaning. This situation is similar to a fission reaction, where the splitting of an atomic nucleus releases energy and produces smaller nuclei that trigger further reactions. Just as each room you clean somehow leads to more mess elsewhere, each fission event releases particles that cause additional nuclei to split, perpetuating the cycle.
Practice Version
Chain Reaction: A fission reaction which creates products that continue the same reaction repeatedly. Chain reaction. A chain reaction is a process where a reactive product causes additional reactions to occur continuously.
