Question

Fill in the blanks When neutron is bombarded on atom of Uranium-235, it absorb the neutron and converts into its ________ Uranium-236.

Answer 1

Explanation:

92

U

235

+

0

n

1

→

56

Ba

141

+

36

Kr

92

+3x+Q(energy)

∑ Atomic number on L.H.S. =92+0=92

∑ Atomic number on R.H.S. =56+36=92

∴ number of protons on L.H.S. are equal to the number of protons on R.H.S. hence x not contains protons in it.

∑ Atomic mass number on L.H.S. =235+1=236

∑ Atomic mass number on R.H.S =141+92+3x=233+3x

L.H.S=R.H.S

233+3x=236

x=1

Mass number=1, no. of proton =0

therefor particle will be Neutron.
