When Uranium is bombarded with neutrons, it undergoes fission. The fission reaction can be written as : ₉₂ U ²³⁵+ ₀ n^1 ₅₆ Ba ¹⁴¹+ ₃₆ Kr ⁹²+3 x+ Q ( energy) where three particles named x are produced and energy Q is released. What is the name of the particle x ?
Options
- Aelectron
- B-particle
- Cneutron
- Dneutrino
Correct answer
C. neutron
Step-by-step solution
Nuclear fission equation aligned ₉₂ U ¹³⁵+ ₀ n ^1 & ₅₆ Ba ¹⁴¹+ ₃₆ Kr ⁹² & +3 ₀ n ^1+ Q ( energy ) aligned Hence particle x is neutron.
