Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, Uranium 235 is used in building nuclear weapons particularly in Nuclear fusion. The nucleus of the U-235 atom comprises 92 protons and 143 neutrons (92 + 143 = 235).

In nuclear fusion, you get energy when two atoms join together to form one. In a fusion reactor, hydrogen atoms come together to form helium atoms, neutrons and vast amounts of energy. It's the same type of reaction that powers hydrogen bombs and the sun.
