When Uranium is bombarded with neutrons,it undergoes fission. The fission reaction can be written as ${}_{92}U^{235} + {}_0n^1 \to {}_{56}Ba^{141} + {}_{36}Kr^{92} + 3x + Q$,where three particles named $x$ are produced and energy $Q$ is released. What is the name of the particle $x$?

  • A
    electron
  • B
    $\alpha$-particle
  • C
    neutron
  • D
    neutrino
