    When a slow neutron goes sufficiently close to a \[{{U}^{235}}\] nucleus, then the process which takes place is                 [AFMC 2000]

    A)                 Fusion of \[{{U}^{235}}\]             

    B)                 Fission of \[{{U}^{235}}\]

    C)                 Fusion of neutron           

    D)                 First A then B

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

              The splitting of a heavier atom like that of U-235 into a number of fragments of much smaller mass by suitable bombardment with sub-atomic particles with liberation of huge amount of energy is called nuclear fission.
