A neutron strikes a plutonium-239 nucleus, starting a fission reaction. The products are a
strontium-96 nucleus, a barium-140 nucleus, and some neutrons. How many neutrons are in
the products of the reaction? (1 point)
O one
O four
O three
O two



Answer :

Two neutrons are in the products of the reaction when a neutron strikes a plutonium-239 nucleus, starting a fission reaction.

What is fission reaction and how many neutrons are in the products of the reaction?

  1. Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei.
  2. Nuclear fission are the reactions in which the radioactive elements like uranium and thorium are used to generate power.
  3. When a neutron bombards into a larger atom, leading to excitement and splitting into smaller atoms.
  4. Hence when a neutron strikes a plutonium-239 nucleus, starting a fission reaction , the products are a strontium-96 and a barium-140.
  5. The number of neutrons released and are in the product of the reaction are two .
