Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fission is a radio active decay or a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus breaks or splits into lighter fragments or nuclei of comparable sizes.

The fission of Uranium-235 by absorbing a neutron which turns it into excited Uranium-236 which further splits into lighter nuclei releasing 3 neutrons and gamma rays.

The fission of Uranium - 235 results in fission fragments of Krypton-92 and Barium-141.
