Write one balanced equation to show Nuclear fission
Write any one balanced equation representing nuclear fission
Advertisements
Solution 1
Nuclear Fission :
When a slow neutron strikes `""_92U^235` nucleus, it is absorbed by the nucleus and an isotope `U^236` is formed. But `U^236`, is highly unstable, is immediately broken into two fragments and emits neutrons and energy. This fission can be represented by the following equation
Solution 2
Nuclear fission:
`""_0^1n + ""_92^235U -> ""_56^144Ba + ""_36^89Kr + 3 ""_0^1n`
