← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a large nucleus undergoes asymmetric nuclear fission?
A)Fragments have varying recoil energies✓
B)Total binding energy is conserved
C)Fragments emit identical gamma rays
D)Chain reaction is automatically sustained
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric fission yields unequal fragment masses. Fragments subsequently experience unequal Coulomb repulsion because of varying charges; therefore recoil energies vary widely between fragments, rather than showing equal partition or no partition because of symmetry.
