Which one of the following isotopes of natural Uranium undergo reaction with slow neutron:
Correct answer: A. 92U235
- A. 92U235
- B. 92U236
- C. 92U238
- D. 92U239
Explanation
92U235 is the only naturally occurring isotope of uranium that is fissile (able to fission with slow neutrons).

About Radioactive Decay
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous transformation of unstable nuclei, described by decay constant, activity, half life and the exponential decay law. Work includes alpha, beta and gamma emissions, decay equations and remaining nuclei, with half life distinguished from the time required for complete decay.
