Question

identifying fission products
what are the products of a fission reaction? check all that apply.
lighter atoms
energy
heavier atoms
neutrons
protons

Explanation:

In a fission reaction, a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei (lighter atoms). Energy is released during this process. Also, neutrons are emitted. Heavier atoms are not formed as the starting nucleus is heavy and splits into lighter ones. Protons are not a typical product of fission reactions in the sense that the main products are lighter nuclei, energy and neutrons.

Answer:

lighter atoms, energy, neutrons
