Parts Of An Atom

The video explains the structure of the uranium atom, likening it to a solar system with a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons. The number of electrons determines the element, from hydrogen to uranium. Scientists have long attempted to split the atom by targeting its core with neutrons. Eventually, they succeeded using a slow neutron, releasing significant energy and creating new atoms, barium and krypton.

What was the result of using a slow neutron on the uranium atom?

What new atoms were formed after the uranium atom was split?
