Question

Write a nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90.

Answer 1

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

Step-by-step explanation:

• The nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90 is represented by;

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

• In nuclear fission reactions a heavy nuclide is split into two light nuclides and is coupled by the release of energy.
