A neutron strikes an atom of uranium-235 to start a fission reaction. A student expresses this situation as 01n+235%C2%A0%C2%A092U . Which statement describes why the expression is incorrect?(1 point) Responses A neutron should be expressed as 10n , not 01n . A neutron should be expressed as 0 to the 1th power n, not 1 to the 0 power n. The mass number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. The mass number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. The atomic number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. The atomic number for uranium-235 is in the wrong location. A neutron should be expressed as 11H , not 01n .
The correct statement is: A neutron should be expressed as 10n , not 01n
The statement "A neutron should be expressed as 01n+235%92U" is incorrect because a neutron should be expressed as "10n" instead of "01n".
The correct statement that describes why the expression is incorrect is: A neutron should be expressed as 10n, not 01n.
To understand why this is incorrect, we need to understand the notation used to represent atoms and particles. In the notation, the number before the symbol represents the atomic number, and the number after the symbol represents the mass number.
In this case, the expression is "01n+235%20%20%20U". The "01n" represents the neutron, where 01 is meant to be the atomic number and "n" represents the neutron. However, "01n" is not the correct notation for a neutron. The atomic number of a neutron is 0, and it should be represented as "10n", where 1 is the atomic number and "n" represents the neutron.
Therefore, the correct expression should be "10n+235%20%20%20U" to indicate that a neutron (with an atomic number of 1) strikes an atom of uranium-235 (with a mass number of 235).
