NEET Physics Nuclear Fission MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about nuclear fission is correct?
Nuclear fission can release energy by breaking down heavy nuclei into lighter fragments.
The fission process requires the absorption of multiple protons to occur.
Fission reactions always produce stable end products without any radioactive emissions.
Uranium-235 is not capable of undergoing fission when bombarded with neutrons.
Correct Answer
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.
