Question

Which reaction model represents a nuclear fission reaction?

A → B + C
n + A → B + C + n
A + C → B + n
A → B + C + n

Answer 1

By presuming n denotes neutron, A is an atom and B & C are lighter nuclei, a reaction model of nuclear fission can be represented as follows:

n + A → B + C + n

Step-by-step explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is a process where a neuron collide with an atom and split it into two lighter nuclei and at the same time, a neuron and a large amount of energy will be released. The released neuron will then induce another nuclear fission on the next atom and repeat the same reaction process.

The understanding of nuclear fission play an important role in developing nuclear energy technology.

Answer 2

Answer: option B

Explanation: since nuclear fission involves the decay of larger nuclide into smaller nuclei along with Neutron when it is collide with Neutron.

Example Decay of U-235 into Kr and Ba along with 3 neutrons
