Question

are released during a nuclear fission reaction.

• A. Neutrons
• B. $\alpha$ - particles
• C. $\beta$ - particles

Answer 1

The correct option is A Neutrons

Nuclear fission is the process of bombarding a heavy radioactive nucleus with a slow or fast moving neutron that subsequently results in the splitting of the nucleus into two lighter daughter nuclei. In this process, a large amount of energy is released along with high energy neutrons which further initiate nuclear fission of other reactant nuclei.
