In an atomic bomb, the energy is released due to |
Chain reaction of neutrons and ${}_{92} U^{235}$ Chain reaction of neutrons and ${}_{92} U^{238}$ Chain reaction of neutrons and ${}_{92} U^{240}$ Chain reaction of neutrons and ${}_{92} U^{236}$ |
Chain reaction of neutrons and ${}_{92} U^{235}$ |
The energy of an atomic bomb or a nuclear power plant is the result of the splitting, or "fission," of an atom. Most nuclear power plants today draw their energy from the fission of uranium-235 atoms. |
