JAMB Physics
One of the features of the fission process is that
a.
It leads to chain reaction
b.
Its products are not radioactive
c.
neutrons are not released
d.
the sum of the masses of the reactants equals the sum of the masses of the products
Correct answer: A
The fission process leads to a chain reaction. Fission reaction occurs when a heavy nucleus is bombarded with neutrons and it divides into two light nuclei of nearly equal mass with the release of neutrons. When the neutrons released collide with other radioactive elements, they undergo nuclear fission, thus leading to a chain reaction.
