Answer

(i) The process of splitting of a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei of nearly same mass, when bombarded with slow neutrons, is called nuclear fission.

(ii) 92235U{92}^{235}\text{U} + 01n{0}^{1}\text{n}56144Ba{56}^{144}\text{Ba} + 3689Kr{36}^{89}\text{Kr} + 3 01n_{0}^{1}\text{n} + Energy
