What would a neutron do that is released with energy and does not bind to anything?

Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 15 minutes), decaying by emission of a negative electron and antineutrino to become a proton:[6] : n0 → p+ + e− + νe

What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?
A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
How much energy is released by burning methane?
4450 kJ of energy would be released.
How much energy is required to remove a neutron from ground state U-236 to make it U-235?
It is unclear exactly how a single neutron could be removed from a Uranium-236 nucleus to create a Uranium-235 nucleus. (It would probably prove quite difficult to do.) As to the energy required to do this, about all we can do is look at the binding energy of this nucleus. It turns out that the binding energy per nucleon in the U236 nucleus is about 7.6 MeV (million electron volts). This suggests that it would take a minimum of about 7.6 MeV to pluck that neutron from the U236 nucleus to create the U235 nucleus.
What would happen if you do not conserve energy?
When you waste energy,during night time, no one would se anything
What is kinetic energy and what is an example of a kinetic energy?
The energy from any type of movement. Anything from a swinging swing to a Electron moving around the nucleus.
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
Why does the tissue paper don't came back when we burn it?
When you burn anything, energy is released because you've changed what the molecules are. To get it back would be a thermodynamically unfavourable process
Would a neutron be deflected by a maagnetic field why or why not?
Since a neutron has no charge, it would not be deflected by a magnetic field.
How energy is stored in the source and how energy is released?
There are a great many ways that energy can be stored or released. Photosynthesis is an important method (without which we would not have anything to eat) which stores the energy of sunlight in the form of sugar. It is then released by the process of metabolism. Electrical energy can be stored in batteries, and released through various electrical devices. Energy can be stored mechanically by tightening a spring; this used to be the main energy source for wrist watches, although now they are usually powered by batteries instead. The energy stored in a spring can then be released through the use of gears and ingenious mechanical contraptions. Energy could be stored by pumping water to a high elevation, and released by allowing the water to fall, turning a water wheel as it falls. There are many other methods as well.
