92 U 235 + 0 n 1 → 92 U 236 → 54 Xe 142 + 38 Sr 90 + 4 0 n 1
Perhaps this'll clear your doubts .
The number of neutrons emitted when
235]U92 undergoes controlled nuclear fission to
142Xe54 and
90Sr38 is ??
why is the ans given by JEE 4??how can it be 4??
235=142+90+3
bt the fission is initiated by 1 neutron...
thus, 235+1=142+90+4
hence the answer!!!
92 U 235 + 0 n 1 → 92 U 236 → 54 Xe 142 + 38 Sr 90 + 4 0 n 1
Perhaps this'll clear your doubts .
