Explanation:

Fission refers to splitting into parts.

When there is splitting of a heavy nucleus that leads to formation of two or more small nucleus along with release of energy is known as a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, [tex]^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{89}_{36}Kr + ^{144}_{56}Ba + 3^{1}_{0}n + 210 MeV[/tex]
