Problem

When Uranium is bombarded with neutrons, it undergoes fission. The fission reaction can be written as:

{}_{92}^{235}\text{U} + {}_{0}^{1}n \rightarrow {}_{56}^{141}\text{Ba} + {}_{36}^{92}\text{Kr} + 3x + Q(\text{energy})

where three particles named

x

are produced and energy

Q

is released. What is the name of the particle

x

? a. electron b.

\alpha

-particle c. neutron d. neutrino
