A nuclear reaction is represented by the following equation:${ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}+{ }_{0}^{1} \mathbf{n} \stackrel{\text {}}{\longrightarrow}_{56}^{139} \mathrm{Ba}+{ }_{36}^{94} \mathrm{Kr}+xc+E $- Name the process represented by this equation and describe what takes place in this reaction.
- Identify the particle c and the number x of such particles produced in the reaction.
- What does E represent?
- Name one installation where the above nuclear reaction is utilised.
- What type of bomb is based on similar type of reaction?
(a) This equation represents the process of nuclear fission.
In this process, a heavy nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of a tremendous amount of energy, when bombarded with low-energy neutrons.
(b) Particle c is neutron and $x$ = 3.
(c) E represents the tremendous amount of energy liberated in the reaction.
(d) The given nuclear reaction is utilised in nuclear power stations.
(e) An atom bomb is based on a similar type of reaction.
