Ch.20 - Nuclear Chemistry
Chapter 20, Problem 107
The most abundant isotope of uranium, 238U, does not undergo fission. In a breeder reactor, however, a 238U atom captures a neutron and emits two b particles to make a fis-sionable isotope of plutonium, which can then be used as fuel in a nuclear reactor. Write a balanced nuclear equation.
