Question

A neutron strikes an atom of uranium-235 to start a fission reaction. A student expresses this situation as 01n+235 92U . Which statement describes why the expression is incorrect?(1 point) Responses A neutron should be expressed as 10n , not 01n . A neutron should be expressed as 0 to the 1th power n, not 1 to the 0 power n. The mass number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. The mass number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. A neutron should be expressed as 11H , not 01n . A neutron should be expressed as 1 to the 1th power cap h, not 1 to the 0 power n. The atomic number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. The atomic number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location.

Answer 1

The expression for a neutron starting a fission reaction is incorrectly written as \( ^{01}n + ^{235}{92}U \). The correct notation for a neutron is \( ^{1}{0}n \) (or simply \( n \)), which indicates a mass number of 1 and an atomic number of 0.

Therefore, the correct response is:

A neutron should be expressed as \( ^{1}{0}n \), not \( ^{0}{1}n \).
