← ScienceWhich outcome occurs following sufficient neutron absorption in Uranium-235?
A)Induced fission initiates a chain reaction✓
B)Radiative capture into metastable Uranium-236
C)Alpha decay forms Thorium and Helium
D)Spontaneous fusion produces heavier elements
💡 Explanation
Induced fission occurs because neutron absorption causes the nucleus to become unstable; therefore, fission releases additional neutrons to sustain the chain reaction, rather than beta decay with neutrino release or radiative capture.
