A chain reaction in fission of uranium is possible because
- A small amount of energy is released
- B more than one neutron is given out
- C large amount of energy is released
- D fragments in fission are radioactive.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) more than one neutron is given out
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A chain reaction occurs because each fission event triggered by a single neutron releases an average of 2 to 3 new neutrons. these secondary neutrons then go on to trigger further fissions in neighboring uranium nuclei, sustaining the reaction. B) more than one neutron is given…
