which of the following reactions is a fission reaction?

Question

a) hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3 combine to form a helium-4 atom and a neutron.
b) carbon-12 and hydrogen-1 combine to form a nitrogen-13 atom.
c) uranium-235 absorbs a neuten and splits into barium-141, krypton-92, and three neutrons.
d) a glucose molecule is metabolized with oxygen into carben dioxide and water

Answer 1

Fission means to split and the reaction occurs in the nucleus. So the answer is (c). By the way, the gizmos that do the dirty work are NEUTRONS.

Answer 2

The process of fission involves the splitting of an atom, so the answer would be c.
