Chain Reaction

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to clean your house, but every time you tidy up one room, the clutter seems to spill into another, creating a never-ending cycle of mess. This is similar to a fission reaction, where splitting one atomic nucleus releases energy and additional particles that cause more nuclei to split, perpetuating the process. Just as one clean room leads to the next room needing attention, one split nucleus produces particles that continue to trigger more splits, creating a chain reaction of both cleanliness and nuclear fission.
