Question

Please help - will award brainliest! Which type of reaction does this diagram represent?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be B nuclear fission because an atom is splitting into two large fragments of comparable mass

Answer 2

Explanation:

A reaction in which a large atomic nuclei splits into two small nuclei along with release of energy is known as a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, $^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{92}Kr + ^{141}Ba + 3^{1}_{0}n$

On the other hand a nuclear reaction in which two small nuclei combine together to result in the formation of a large nuclei is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the given diagram represents a nuclear fission reaction.
