In certain types of atomic bombs, a fuel, like plutonium-239, is bombarded with neutrons to create an uncontrolled nuclear reaction that splits the nuclei of the fuel.
TRUE
FALSE

Respuesta :

I know that neutrons start nuclear rxns similar to this like Uranium-238. So I am going to say true.

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, in order to undergo fission, a highly energized neutron is cast to an atom's nuclei. The combination of these two produces an unstable isotope, which is likely to undergo such splitting of the nuclei. In such a way, atomic bombs bursting (weaponry) is carried out throughout neutron bombardment, therefore, the statement is true.

Best regards.
