Name the following nuclear reaction:
\[\ce {^3_1H + ^2_1H -> ^4_2He + ^1_0n + γ}\]
Assertion (A): In the process of nuclear fission, the amount of nuclear energy generated by the fission of an atom of uranium is so tremendous that it produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
Reason (R): The nucleus of a heavy atom such as uranium, when bombarded with low energy neutrons, splits apart into lighter nuclei. The mass difference between the original nucleus and the product nuclei gets converted to tremendous energy.
The nucleus 84X202emits an alpha particle and forms the nucleus Y. Represent this change in the form of an equation.
An element 92U238 losses one alpha particle, and then one β-particle and then again one β- particle to get the final nucleus bQa.
