Which of the following nuclear fragments could be labeled as one of the possible fission products in this reaction?

Question diagram
A

141 56 Ba

B

144 56 Ba

C

139 54 Xe

D

138 54 Xe

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The process of fission in the reaction 235 92 U + n → 141 56 Ba + 92 36 Kr + 3n is one of the possible outcomes as per the NCERT context, making 141 56 Ba a correct fission product.
