NEET Physics Nuclear Fission Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Nuclear fission reactions can produce different pairs of intermediate mass fragments. | Reason (R): The energy released in a fission reaction depends solely on the type of intermediate mass fragments formed.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as nuclear fission can produce different pairs of intermediate mass fragments, as shown in reactions involving 235U. The reason is false because the energy released depends on the mass defect and not just the type of fragments.
