In which of the following process are Neutrons emitted?(a) Inverse beta Decay(b) Nuclear fission(c) Spontaneous Fission(d) Nuclear fusionI got this question in examination.The query is from Nuclear Fission & Nuclear Fusion in portion Nuclear Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) NUCLEAR fission

For EXPLANATION I WOULD say: Nuclear fission is the PROCESS in which a heavy nucleus is split into two or more lighter nuclei. This result in decrease in mass and consequent EXOTHERMIC energy and emission of neutrons take place. Two to three neutrons are emitted per nucleuses which are known as fission elements.
