NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION : 

A piece of URANIUM consists of millions of uranium atoms. When a slow moving neutron is bombarded, it produces three neutrons, if these neutrons are utilised to break further uranium atoms, 9 neutrons are produced and in this way a kind of chain reaction takes place with release of large amount of energy and reaction becomes uncontrolled. This results in atom bomb.
