Nuclear fission reactions are a type of nuclear reactions in which larger nuclei breaks apart into two or more smaller fragment releasing alpha, gamma of beta particles.

There are 3 types of particles that can be released during this process:

1. Alpha particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes alpha-decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes beta-minus decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Gamma radiations: these radiations are released when an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a process of spontaneous electromagnetic process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$

Hence, any of these particles can be released during the process of fission reaction with smaller atoms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Which one is a true statement about endothermic reactions? A. I need you from an outside source is continuously being added. B.

tekilochka [14]

Correct answer: "A. Energy from an outside source is continuously being added."
An endothermic reaction is a reaction that is characterised by the system absorbing energy from its surroundings. That energy is usually in heat form. For example, when mixing water with potassium chloride, this reaction will absorb heat and the container will feel cold - endothermic reaction.
