When a nucleus starts to split, the particles that are released are protons and neutrons. These particles are known as nuclear fragments or nuclear decay products. Electrons are not released during nuclear fission as they are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus and are not part of the nucleus itself. Atoms are not released during nuclear fission as they are made up of a nucleus and electron cloud, and only the nucleus splits during fission.

The correct answer is B. Neutrons. When a nucleus splits, also known as nuclear fission, typically one or more neutrons are released along with other nuclear fragments. These neutrons can go on to initiate a chain reaction by colliding with other nuclei and causing them to split as well.
