Nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.
a. true
b. false

Answer : The given statement is, True.

Explanation :

Nuclear fission : It is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.

In nuclear reactor, neutron hits the uranium nucleus and the uranium nucleus splits into two nuclei and three neutrons. These three neutrons further hit the uranium nucleus and the uranium nucleus split into two nuclei and these 3 neutrons produces 9 neutrons.

So, yes the nuclear fission can be described as a chain reaction.
