Question

92U235, nucleus absorb a neutron and disintegrate in 54Xe139, 38Sr94 and x So, What will be the product x

A

3 - neutrons

B

2 - neutrons

C

α - partical

D

β - partical

Answer

3 - neutrons

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (A) : 3 - neutrons

92U 235+ 0n1 $\rightarrow$ 54Xe139+ 38Sr94+ZXA

Equating mass number on both sides, 235 + 1 = 139 + 94 + A or, A = 3

Equating atomic number on both sides, 92 + 0 = 54 + 38 + Z or, Z = 0

Hence, x = 3 neutrons
