The fission of \(^{235}U\) can be triggered by the absorption of a slow neutron by a nucleus. Similarly a slow proton can also be used. This statement is
1 correct
2 incorrect
3 information is insufficient
4 None of the above
Explanation:
Because the neutron has no electric charge, it experiences no electric repulsion from a \({U^{235}}\) nucleus. Hence, a slow moving neutron can approach and enter a \({U^{235}}\) nucleus, thereby providing the excitation needed to trigger fission. In contrast, a slow moving proton feels a strong repulsion from a \({U^{235}}\) nucleus. It never gets close to the nucleus, so it cannot trigger nuclear fission. Hence, given statement is incorrect.

Assertion : Cadmium rods used in a nuclear reactor, control the rate of fission. Reason : Cadmium rods speed up the slow neutrons.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
Explanation:
Cadmium rods find application in nuclear reactors to regulate the rate of fission. These rods do not alter the speed of the neutrons generated during the fission of uranium-235 (^235U). Instead, their function is to absorb these neutrons, effectively controlling and regulating the power level of the reactor. So, \(C d\) rod is moderator. So correct option is (3).

Thermal neutrons are those which
1 Move with high velocities
2 Are at very high temperature
3 Are at rest
4 Have kinetic energies similar to those of surrounding molecules
Explanation:
When fast moving neutrons pass through a moderator, they collide with the molecules of the moderator. As a result of this the neutrons are in thermal equillibrium with the surrounding molecules of moderator. These neutrons are called thermal neutrons.
