Question

Which change occurs during a nuclear fission reaction?

(1) Covalent bonds are converted to ionic bonds.
(2) Isotopes are converted to isomers.
(3) Temperature is converted to mass.
(4) Matter is converted to energy

Answer 1

Matter is converted to energy

Answer 2

Answer;

Matter is converted to energy

Explanation;

• Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction in which a nuclei of an atom splits or breaks down into two or more smaller nuclei.
• It involves subdivision of heavy nucleus of an atom such as Uranium into two or more fragments which has almost the same equal mass.
• Nuclear fission is accompanied by release of large amount of energy, thus we can say that matter is converted to energy.
