Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When U-235 undergoes fission, it splits into two smaller nuclei, typically with atomic numbers ranging from 35 to 60. However, since the atomic number of U-235 is 92 (because it has 92 protons), the two resulting nuclei must have a combined total of 92 protons. Therefore, the best choice is C) 92 protons.
