The particle required to continue the chain process of Uranium fission is – |
A. | Electron |
B. | Proton |
C. | Neutron |
D. | Positron |
Answer» C. Neutron | |
Explanation: Fission as encountered in the modern world is usually a deliberately produced man-made nuclear reaction induced by a neutron. The nuclear fuels undergo fission when struck by fission neutrons, and in turn emit neutrons when they break apart. This makes possible a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction that releases energy at a controlled rate in a nuclear reactor or at a very rapid uncontrolled rate in a nuclear weapon. |
