During a nuclear fission reaction:
  • A
    A heavy nucleus breaks into two fragments by itself a light nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.
  • B
    A light nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.
  • C
    A heavy nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.
  • D
    Two light nuclei combine to give a heavier nucleus and possible other products.

Answer

  1. A heavy nucleus bombarded by thermal neutrons breaks up.

Explanation:

In a nuclear reactor, a large fissile atomic nucleus like uranium-235 absorbs a thermal neutron and undergoes a nuclear fission reaction. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei releasing gamma radiation and free neutrons.
