Question

Observe the following diagram and answer the questions.
( nuclear fission)
i. Atom of which element is bombarded with a neutron?

ii. Into atoms of which elements does the unstable isotope convert?

iii. What is the above reaction known as? Which power plant makes use of this reaction? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)If an element can be induced to undergo fission via neutron bombardment, it is said to be fissile . Nuclear fission of U-235If U-235 is bombarded with a neutron (light blue small circe), the resulting U-236 produced is unstable and undergoes fission.

2)Radiation is emitted from atoms when an unstable atom decays to become more stable. When an atom has extra neutrons or protons, it causes the element to become unstable. This activity helps students understand how emitting an alpha or beta particle changes the structure of an atom
