Which of the following best predicts the outcome of a fission reaction involving uranium-235?
a. Two U-235 atoms form bonds with each other, absorbing a large amount of energy.

b.An atom of U-235 absorbs electrons, undergoes an increase in energy level, and splits into fragments.

c. The nuclei of two U-235 atoms join together to form a heavier uranium isotope, and energy is released.
d.The nucleus of an atom of U-235 splits, resulting in two smaller fragments and the release of a large amount of energy.

jfraser · Answer

this is a pretty straightforward definition kind of question. What happens during fission?

anonymous · Answer

Fission is when a nucleus splits onto two or more parts, perhaps being struck by a fast-moving neutron, and fusion is the reverse, where fast-moving nuclei collide and stick

jfraser · Answer

ok, so with that, can you eliminate one or two options?

anonymous · Answer

yea b and d .. right ?

jfraser · Answer

you want to eliminate B and D? i wouldn't

anonymous · Answer

i think its a ..

jfraser · Answer

A has 2 atoms coming together, that sounds like fusion, not fission

jfraser · Answer

C has 2 atoms coming together, also fusion

anonymous · Answer

i think it d

anonymous · Answer

is it d as well

jfraser · Answer

it is
