Nuclear Fission Define: a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits simultaneously or on impact with another particle, with a release of energy. Average of 2-3 nuclei released 200,000,000 Electron Volts

Quantum Theory/ Quantum Mechanics
Complementarity Principle Electron is viewed in 2 ways: Either a particle or a wave. Never both at the same time.
Quantum is the smallest quantity of energy in light waves.
