In the following equation, which describes the fission of uranium, what do i, ii, and iii represent? (a) 1 neutron, , heat energy, (b) 1 neutron, , , (c) 1 neutron, , kinetic energy, (d) Kinetic energy, , potential energy, (e) Potential energy, , kinetic energy.
Solution
Verifiedc) 1 neutron, Barium , kinetic energy
Fission is a radioactive decay process in which a nucleus of an atom divides into two or more fragments, resulting in the release of a large amount of energy. It occurs when neutron slams into a large atomic nucleus, forcing it to split into smaller parts. During splitting, new neutrons are released, which can encourage extra fission reactions, leading to a nuclear fission chain reaction that produces an enormous amount of energy.
i + Uranium ii + Krypton + iii
1 neutron + Uranium Barium + Krypton + kinetic energy (3 neutrons in motion)
i = 1 neutron
ii = Barium
iii = kinetic energy
