A quantity of uranium-235 less than the critical mass supports a chain reaction.
State whether the given reaction is true or false:
A quantity of uranium-235 less than the critical mass supports a chain reaction.

Solution
The correct option is B False
A quantity of uranium-235 less than the critical mass cannot support a chain reaction. If the mass of uranium-235 is less than the critical mass, the chain reaction will be non sustainable. Critical mass is the minimum mass of fissionable material required to sustain a chain reaction.
Hence,given statement is false.
