When a neutron hits water, it interacts with the atoms in the water molecules. It bounces around, and transfers energy, much like a billiard ball. As a result, it loses energy and is slowed down. This makes water an excellent moderator for nuclear power plants, causing the neutron to slow down to the thermal range where it can interact with subsequent uranium or plutonium atoms.
It is also possible that a water molecule (oxygen or hydrogen atom) can absorb the neutron, causing change in isotopic identity, fractioning the water molecule into radioactive oxygen and hydrogen.
The sandcastle is swept away.
a neutron is absorbed by an atom’s nucleus. (apex)
The isotope 252Cf is a very strong neutron source; some applications are: - neutron's detectors for water and petroleum - control of nuclear fuel rods - treatment of some cancers by neutron irradiation - neutron radiography in industry - neutron activation analysis in mobile installations
After it hits, it comes to a standstill.
Heavy water is composed of deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron. This extra neutron increases the mass of the water molecule, leading to a higher density compared to regular "light" water. This is why it is called heavy water.
When a neutron hits the nucleus, it can be absorbed by the nucleus, causing the nucleus to become unstable and possibly undergo radioactive decay. This process can lead to the release of energy, emission of radiation, or transmutation of the nucleus into a different element.
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
it explodes with you in it take that society
fills up it
The sandcastle is swept away.
the name pulsar is given to a neutron star that rotates
You gotta clean the mess up:)
No
well, since a neutron = 0 charge placed into a neutral which is has no charge, it stays the same.

During neutron-antineutron annihilation, a neutron and an antineutron collide and are converted into energy in the form of gamma rays, mesons, and other particles. This process releases a large amount of energy and results in the destruction of the neutron and antineutron.
When a beam of light hits water, it can undergo refraction, which causes it to change direction due to the change in speed between air and water. Some of the light may also be reflected off the surface of the water.
