Chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}U^{235}$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In an atomic bomb,the energy is released due to the uncontrolled chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}U^{235}$.The nuclear fission reaction taking place is as follows:$_{92}U^{235} + _{0}n^{1} ightarrow _{56}Ba^{141} + _{36}Kr^{92} + 3_{0}n^{1} + Q 	ext{ (approx. } 200 	ext{ MeV energy)}$.The three neutrons generated in each fission event can react with three other $_{92}U^{235}$ nuclei,which leads to a self-sustaining chain reaction,releasing a massive amount of energy in a very short time.
