Question
In an atom bomb, the energy is released because of the :
Options
A.Chain reaction of neutrons and 92U238
B.Chain reaction of neutrons and 92U235
C.Chain reaction of neutrons and 92U236
D.Chain reaction of neutrons and 92U240
Solution
The reaction taking place in the atom is as follows
2 pleces. 92U235 + 0n1 → 36Ba141 + 56Kr62 + 30n1 + Q
Q = 200 MeV.
The three neutrons generated are capale of reacting with three atoms individually which leads to chain reaction.
