Chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}{U^{238}}$
C
Chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}{P^{240}}$
D
Chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}{U^{236}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.

Chain reaction of neutrons and $_{92}{U^{235}}$

a
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.
