Answer:

Neutrons, energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear ﬁssion is a process by which the nucleus of a heavy atom is split into two or more daughter nuclei, releasing neutrons and energy.

Hence, nuclear fission involves the breaking up of a heavy nucleus. This breaking up may be induced by bombarding the heavy nucleus with a small particle such as a neutron. This usually leads to a chain reaction as the nucleus fragments into daughter nuclei releasing more neutrons and tremendous energy in the process.

In fission, a heavy nucleus is split into two lighter ones with the liberation of (electron, proton, or neutron) and (mass or energy).
