What happens when a neutron is absorbed by a nucleus of an atom of U^2

1.	What happens when a neutron is absorbed by a nucleus of an atom of U^235?(a) Mass number of atom increases(b) One electron is let out(c) U^236 isotope is formed(d) Nucleus becomes unstableThis question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I need to ask this question from Nuclear Fission & Nuclear Fusion topic in section Nuclear Power Plant of Energy Engineering
Answer» Right choice is (c) U^236 isotope is FORMED For explanation I would say: When a neutron is absorbed by a NUCLEUS of an atom U^235, a U^236 isotope is formed. This isotope is highly unstable which LASTS for one millionth of a second and splits into two EQUAL parts RELEASING energy of 200MeV.
