Hi Folks
I made a mistake on a web page I created a while back and because I had nobody to help check my work the error stayed there until today. I hve corrected the error and made a new page with a different decay process. I originally used Uranium fissioning into two other nucleons and three neutrons. But somehow an error got through and I accidently had a reaction that would have produced a negative value of Q. I have corrected this but would like someone else to make sure I didn't make an entirely new mistake.![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The web page is here - http://www.geocities.com/physics_world/sr/nuclear_fission.htm
Please take a look to see if there are any errors in the page. Thanks.
I'd rather use an example where a uranium nuclei decays into two nuclei each of which have large atomic number. Maybe the following would be a good example. It comes from the process used in an atomic bomb.
n + 235U ----> 88Kr + 143U + 3n
This is an exoergic process isn't it? Thanks.
