Question

why are protons and electrons not used in bombarding in nuclear fission...

Satisfactory answer will be marked as the brainliest..

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

bombarding is nothing but adding

if protons are added the atom just gets an charge

if electrons are added the atom just gets an charge

if neutron is added the atom becomes instable due to less space in the nucleus

this good condition for nuclear fission

the word nuclear fission itself says its meaning

nuclear - nucleus fission

so neutrons are used for bombarding in nuclear fission

Therefore

protons and neutrons are not used in bombarding in nuclear fission

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey Buddy here's ur answer

Electrons are much too light to disrupt the nucleus and cause fission. The neutrons being neutral, do not need to overcome Coulomb repulsion.

In fact, the lower the energy of the neutrons ie slower the neutrons, more time they get to be absorbed by an Uranium nucleus.

So, neutrons are used in bombarding in nuclear fission, because :-

Neutrons on the other hand can get all the way to the nucleus without being deflected. Neutrons seem to exist just to help bind protons together in atomic nuclei as isolated neutrons decay fast.

Why Uranium is use as an isotope in nuclear bombarding?

The isotope U-235 is important because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and we use the expression 'nuclear fission'. Meanwhile, like all radioactive isotopes, they decay.
