Name the product of nuclear fission which is utilized to bring about further fission of ${}_{92}^{235}U$ .

Open in App

Solution

Nuclear fission can be defined as the process in nuclear physics in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two daughter nuclei.
When the Uranium-235 atom is bombarded with a neutron, it splits into two lighter nuclei Barium and Krypton.
Hence, the product of nuclear fission which is utilized to bring about further fission of ${}_{92}^{235}U$ is slow moving neutron.
