Assertion :U235 nucleus by absorbing a slow neutron undergoes fission with the evolution of a significant quantity of heat. Reason: During nuclear fission, a part of original mass of U235 is lost and gets converted into heat.

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Assertion
U235 nucleus by absorbing a slow neutron undergoes
fission with the evolution of a significant quantity of heat.
Reason
During nuclear fission, a part of original mass of
U235 is lost and gets converted into heat.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is
the correct explanation for Assertion.
In one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature,
a slow neutron can be captured by a uranium-235 nucleus, rendering it unstable
toward nuclear fission. A fast neutron will not be captured, so neutrons must
be slowed down by moderation to increase their capture probability in fission
reactors.
Nuclear fission products are the atomic fragments
left after a large atomic nucleus undergoes nuclear fission. Typically, a large
nucleus like that of uranium fissions by splitting into two smaller nuclei,
along with a few neutrons, the release of heat energy (kinetic energy of the
nuclei), and gamma rays.
