प्रश्न
The isotope of 92U235 decays by alpha emission to an isotope of Thorium (Th). The Thorium isotope decays by beta emission to an isotope of Protactaminum (Pa). Write down the equations to represent these two nuclear changes.
उत्तर
\[\ce{_92U^238 -\underset{\text{(α-particles)}}{_2He^4} -> _90Th^234}\]
\[\ce{_90Th^234 - _\underset{\text{β-paricles}}{-1e^0}-> _91Pa^234}\]

Two statements are given - one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In the process of nuclear fission, the amount of nuclear energy generated by the fission of an atom of uranium is so tremendous that it produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
Reason (R): The nucleus of a heavy atom such as uranium, when bombarded with low energy neutrons, splits apart into lighter nuclei. The mass difference between the original nucleus and the product nuclei gets converted to tremendous energy.
