Are Barium-141 and krypton-92 produced by the bombardment of uranium-235 with a neutron?

Yes, because when you begin bombarding radioactive elements with neutrons, each reaction will result in more neutrons, which will then continue to bombard more elements, et cetera, and a chain reaction will occur. In this equation, the number above the "/" is the atomic mass of the isotope, and the number below is the atomic number of the element. The reaction results in Uranium splitting into an isotope of Barium, an isotope of Krypton, and then three more neutrons (a product of the said chain reaction). 235/92 Uranium + 1/0 N ---> 141/56 Barium + 92/36 Krypton + 3(1/0 N) Another note: When balancing nuclear equations, all you have to do is make sure the total number or atomic masses on each side of the equation are equal, and that the total number of atomic numbers on each side of the equation are equal.


How many neutrons are there when uranium 235 is bombarded with a neutron?

When uranium-235 is bombarded with a neutron, it may undergo a fission reaction, resulting in the formation of multiple fission products, which may include different numbers of neutrons depending on the specific reaction that takes place. Typically, fission of uranium-235 produces around 2 to 3 neutrons per fission event.


How is uranium transfered into energy?

the uranium isotope 335 is the "uranium" you are thinking of. uranium 335 is bombarded with one neutron. this turns it into uranium 336 which is extremely unstable. the isotope splits into krypton and barium, and three neutrons. but two neutrons are converted into energy.


What type of reaction is this U-235 plus 1 neutron - Ba-142 plus Kr-91 plus 3 neutrons?

This is nuclear fission. The Uranium 235 atom splits and forms 2 new elements (plus the extra neutrons).


How do you write out a nuclear fission equation?

A typical nuclear fission equation can be written as: ( \text{Uranium-235} + \text{Neutron} \rightarrow \text{Krypton} + \text{Barium} + \text{Neutrons} + \text{Energy} )

What is the formula of uranium-235 during fission?

During fission of uranium-235, the nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and becomes unstable. It then splits into two smaller nuclei (such as barium and krypton), releasing energy and additional neutrons in the process. The formula for this process can be represented as: U-235 + 1 neutron → Ba-141 + Kr-92 + 3 neutrons + energy

Is uranium 238 a slow or fast neutron absorber?

uranium 238 is a fast neutron absorber the answer is correct but for more explanation:- when uranium 238 is bombard by neutron >>> uranium 238 , undergoes B decay>>>Np 239 ,undergoes B decay >>> Pu 239 finally undergoes alpha decay >>> fissile U


What is the Balanced nuclear equation Uranium 235?

The balanced nuclear equation for the fission of uranium-235 is: U-235 + n-1 -> Ba-141 + Kr-92 + 3 n-1 This equation shows the uranium-235 nucleus absorbing a neutron and splitting into barium-141, krypton-92, and three neutrons.


When a neutron in absorbed by a U-235 nucleus what is the neutron number?

The atomic number of uranium is 92, so its atoms have 92 protons in their nuclei. If uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it would then have the mass number of 236. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number, so the number of neutrons in the uranium-236 nuclei would be 236-92=144.
