Which outcome results when uranium isotopes absorb neutrons?

💡 Explanation

Neutron absorption by uranium isotopes often causes nuclear fission which releases more neutrons; this drives a chain reaction because the rate of fission increases exponentially, therefore the chain propagates rather than producing stable isotopes or altering decay modes under normal conditions.
