Fission is a process in which heavy atoms breaks in two lighter ones by bombardment of neutrons, a, particles etc, because of this a mass defect (Δm) is created, which is converted into energy. Only 1% mass is utilised to convert energy. 0.1 to 0·5 % mass is only converted into energy. This is the order of mass conversion.
