Write one balanced equation to show Nuclear fission
Write any one balanced equation representing nuclear fission
Solution 1
Nuclear Fission :
When a slow neutron strikes `""_92U^235` nucleus, it is absorbed by the nucleus and an isotope `U^236` is formed. But `U^236`, is highly unstable, is immediately broken into two fragments and emits neutrons and energy. This fission can be represented by the following equation
Solution 2
Nuclear fission:
`""_0^1n + ""_92^235U -> ""_56^144Ba + ""_36^89Kr + 3 ""_0^1n`

Free 238U nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes x in time t after the decay. If a decay takes place when the train is moving at a uniform speed v, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time t after the decay, as measured by the passenger will be
During a nuclear fission reaction,
Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Zprotons and N neutrons is `ΔE = (M_(Z-1,N) + M_B - M_(Z,N))c^2`
where MZ,N = mass of an atom with Z protons and N neutrons in the nucleus and MB = mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
