The nuclear fission of uranium-235 is accompanied by an enormous amount of energy because O the mass defect for U-235 is smaller than that of each fragment elements produced. binding energy per nucleon for a U-235 is larger than that of each fragment elements produced. the process leads to the formation of high energy neutrons. O the binding energy per nucleon for a U-235 is lesser than that of each fragment elements produced.
