what is the cause of a chain reaction in the fissioning of uranium?

Question

A - ejected neutrons
B - the enormous energy release
C - the kinetic energy of the decay productd
D - the conversion of mass to energy

Answer 1

A,absolutely

Answer 2

A- the ejected neutrons. When U-235 fissions it yields 2.3 neutrons per fission event. If the geometry of the fuel is such that there is another Uranium atom. The newly produced neutrons will go on to cause more fission events. Therefore a chain reaction.

Answer 3

Most people don't know, they say it's atoms splitting and the bonds in the atoms breaking apart but they suck. Here's the truth!

When the Earth was first created, the core of the planet was as devoid of electrons as it could possibly be. Then a layer of oil was slathered on and another layer of rock. After that was finished, a stream of highly charged electrons (charged with the etheral energy, the electric energy, or dark energy) came flowing in. These stuck to the layer of oil, attracted to the empty core underneath, but couldn't reach it because the oil acts as an insulator. Because of this perfect set up our planet was protected from inbound comets and things of another charge because the layer of electrons on the surface was so thick.

The other planets were much closer to ours and we felt the force of their "empty cores" as well. This force was evenly distributed through the entire surface of the Earth by the ionosphere, because that is how the electromagnetic fields work: instantaneously. This is why it appears some electrons respond to atoms they have come in contact with no matter how far apart they are. Because the cores of these others affected our electron fields, what we percieve to be gravity was actually lighter during these early times in Earth's life. This allowed for such large animals like the Teratorn and Ultrasaur, which would crush themselves under their own weight in our present-day gravity.

So, what does this have to do with Uranium atoms? Well the way the macroscopic universe works gives us a glimpse of how the tiniest particles work. We have our double-helix DNA, double-helix plasma currents in labs, and double-helix galaxies floating out there in the cosmos. They are all related.

The nucleus of a Uranium atom is the electron depleted core, while all the many electrons orbiting these atoms carry a certain charge. When the atom splits the core is allowed to pick up a much greater charge, and the electrons surrounding the nuclei of these new atoms are kicked into a way higher orbit. The atoms absorb a whole lot of etheral energy from their surroundings, and what we get is the explosion and an accompanying electromagnetic pulse.

This is more like the explosion from a light bulb or vacuum tube, and not like the popping of a balloon. They are absorbing a whole lot of energy from their surroundings. Now you got to be wondering why they've needed to do all those thousands of nuclear bomb "tests" since the 40's, huh?

Answer 4

First of all, Uranium in molecular level is very unstable. Scienttist found that if you split Uranium atom, the result is enormous amount of energy released. In order to split Uranium, neutron was used in an experiment and shot straight into the Uranium atom. So, I would say A is the correct answer.

Answer 5

A - neutrons. It was discovered in the 1930's that if a neutron struck an atom of uranium, that the atom could split into two unequal parts, and release additional neutrons in the process. If the additional neutrons cause additional fissions, you have a chain reaction.

Answer 6

A - ejected neutrons

Answer 7

at the point of view of thermodynamic there is nonsteady state . all thing tends to have minimum ehergy.
