Are fission products smaller than neutrons?
Fission produces many different products, some of which are neutrons, and some of which are larger than neutrons, and some of which are smaller than neutrons.
Do protons hit uranium causing it to split?
Protons do not directly hit uranium to cause it to split. Uranium undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by neutrons, not protons. The neutrons are absorbed by the uranium nucleus, leading to its splitting into smaller nuclei and the release of energy.
What are examples of fission reactants?
Uranium-235, plutonium-239, and thorium-232 are examples of reactants used in nuclear fission reactions. These heavy elements can split into smaller nuclei when bombarded with neutrons, releasing a large amount of energy.
What is produced when uranium nuclei is bombarded with neutrons?
This depends on a lot of things. When a neutron collides with an uranium atom, it might bounce off, cause the atom to decay, or be captured into the atom. But which it does depends on the isotope of the atom, the temperature of the atom, and the velocity of the neutron. My understanding is that it can cause any isotope of uranium to decay, and certainly it can bounce off any, but it can only be captured by U233, U234, or U235; the other isotopes of uranium, U236, and U238, will not capture neutrons. The interactions of various isotopes of different temperatures with neutrons of different velocities is complicated, and no simple rule about it can be stated.
What is the name of the smaller particle that makes up neutrons?
Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarkseach.

When an atom of uranium 235 is bombarded with neutrons it splits into smaller nuclei and produces a great amount of energy This nuclear process is called?
This nuclear process is called nuclear fission. During nuclear fission, the uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron, becomes unstable, and splits into two smaller nuclei (fission fragments) and releases energy and more neutrons.
What is a particle released during the fission of uranium235?
One of the particles released during the fission of uranium-235 is a neutron. When uranium-235 undergoes fission, it splits into two smaller atoms along with several neutrons. These neutrons can then go on to initiate additional fission reactions in a chain reaction.
Do protons hit uranium causing it to split?
Protons do not directly hit uranium to cause it to split. Uranium undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by neutrons, not protons. The neutrons are absorbed by the uranium nucleus, leading to its splitting into smaller nuclei and the release of energy.

Uranium-235, plutonium-239, and thorium-232 are examples of reactants used in nuclear fission reactions. These heavy elements can split into smaller nuclei when bombarded with neutrons, releasing a large amount of energy.
How neutron is bombarded on uranium?
Neutrons are typically bombarded onto uranium-235 nuclei to induce nuclear fission reactions. When a neutron collides with a uranium-235 nucleus, it can be absorbed, causing the nucleus to become unstable and split into two smaller nuclei, along with releasing more neutrons and a large amount of energy. This process is the basis of nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
Are electrons protons or neutrons the smallest particles if not what arew?
protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.
What is the process in which a heavy nucleus divides to form smaller nuclei one or two neutrons and a large amount of energy?
The process you are referring to is nuclear fission. In this process, a heavy nucleus such as uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, causing it to split into two smaller nuclei, along with the release of one or two additional neutrons and a significant amount of energy. This chain reaction is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is produced when uranium nuclei is bombarded with neutrons?
This depends on a lot of things. When a neutron collides with an uranium atom, it might bounce off, cause the atom to decay, or be captured into the atom.

What are some of the elements that can be produced from splitting U 235 use chemical symbols?
Some elements that can be produced from splitting U-235 are barium (Ba), krypton (Kr), and multiple neutrons. This occurs during the process of nuclear fission when a U-235 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron and then splits into smaller nuclei, releasing energy and more neutrons.
What is the name of the smaller particle that makes up neutrons?
Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarkseach.
Are electrons largers that protons and neutrons?
No, they are far smaller.
