In an atomic bomb, the energy is released due to
✓
Answer
In an atom bomb, the energy is released because of the chain reaction of neutrons and ${ }_{92} U ^{235}$.
The nuclear reaction taking place in the atom is as follows
${ }_{92} U ^{235}+{ }_0 n ^1 \rightarrow_{36} Ba ^{141}+{ }_{56} Kr ^{92}+30 n ^1+ Q (200 MeV )$
The three neutrons generated can react with three different atoms which leads to chain reaction.
