The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the nuclear fission reaction provided. The fission of Uranium-235 (U-235) is given as follows: 1. **Write the Fission Reaction**: The fission reaction can be written as: \[ \text{U}^{235}_{92} + \text{n} \rightarrow \text{X}^{139}_{54} + \text{Sr}^{94}_{38} + \text{n} + \text{n} \] where \( \text{n} \) represents a neutron. 2. **Conservation of Atomic Mass (A)**: The atomic mass (A) must be conserved in the reaction. - Left side: \( 235 \) (from U-235) + \( 1 \) (from the absorbed neutron) = \( 236 \) - Right side: \( 139 \) (from X) + \( 94 \) (from Sr) + \( 2 \times 1 \) (from 2 neutrons) = \( 139 + 94 + 2 = 235 \) Therefore, the atomic mass is conserved. 3. **Conservation of Atomic Number (Z)**: The atomic number (Z) must also be conserved. - Left side: \( 92 \) (from U-235) - Right side: \( 54 \) (from X) + \( 38 \) (from Sr) = \( 54 + 38 = 92 \) Thus, the atomic number is also conserved. 4. **Determine the Other Particles**: Since the total atomic mass on the left side is \( 236 \) and on the right side is \( 235 \), we have a difference of \( 1 \). This indicates that 2 neutrons were released during the fission process to balance the mass. 5. **Final Answer**: The other particles produced in this fission process are **2 neutrons**. ### Summary of the Solution: The fission of Uranium-235 results in the production of X-139, Sr-94, and 2 neutrons. ---

The most important use of studying nuclear fission and fusion process was to harness nuclear energy for useful purpose of humanity. Nuclear reactor is the machine designed to harness nuclear energy to electricity.

Inside a nucleus, the nucleons (protonsa and neutrons)attract each other with a ''strong nuclear'' force. All neutrons exert approxiamtely the same strong nuclear force on each other. This force holds the nuclear are very close together at intranuclear distances.
