Question:
Which one is correct about fission?
Which one is correct about fission?
Show Hint
Always remember energy unit in nuclear reactions is MeV.
Updated On: Mar 18, 2026
- Approximately 0.1% mass converts into energy
- Most energy of fission is in heat form
- 200 eV energy is released in U-235 fission
- One neutron is released per fission
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Mass-energy conversion. A small fraction (~0.1%) of mass converts into energy during fission.
Step 2: Eliminating wrong options. Energy released is ~200 MeV, not eV, and more than one neutron is released.
