Chapter 15, Problem 94QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of neutron captured by $\text{U}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A nuclear reaction involves changes at a subatomic level such as changes in the number of protons, the number of neutrons or the energy state. To balance a nuclear reaction, two conservation laws can be used; the conservation of mass number and the conservation of charges (atomic number). The product of the reaction can be determined by balancing the reaction.
