NEET Physics Nuclear Fission MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about nuclear fission is correct?
A
Nuclear fission can release energy by breaking down heavy nuclei into lighter fragments.
B
The fission process requires the absorption of multiple protons to occur.
C
Fission reactions always produce stable end products without any radioactive emissions.
D
Uranium-235 is not capable of undergoing fission when bombarded with neutrons.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Nuclear fission involves the splitting of heavy nuclei, such as uranium-235, into lighter fragments, releasing energy in the process. This is described in the context where uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons, leading to fission reactions that produce intermediate mass fragments and radioactive products.
