Question

Nuclear reactions can be written out in equation form. When looking at equations, how can you identify a reaction as a fission reaction? Use the equation of the nuclear fission reaction below to help choose the correct answer.A nucleus with a large mass will be on the right side, and there will be neutrons in the equation. bA nucleus with a large mass will be on the right side, and there will be electrons in the equation. cA nucleus with a large mass will be on the left side, and there will be neutrons in the equation. dA nucleus with a large mass will be on the left side, and there will be electrons in the equation.

Answer 1

c. A nucleus with a large mass will be on the left side, and there will be neutrons in the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a nucleus with a large mass and that nucleus splits into isotopes (substances that have the same atomic number that the original substance, but different weight number).

In this case, the nucleus with a large mass is U and n represents the neutrons.
