Question

Which of the following is the correct definition of nuclear energy?

energy produced from the splitting of atoms

energy an object has because of its motion or position

energy stored in chemical bonds of molecules

energy resulting from the flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions

Answer 1

The correct answer is :'energy produced from the splitting of atoms'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear energy is defined as an energy released during the nuclear reactions. during nuclear reaction. Sometime nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei or sometimes two or more small nuclei combines together to form a single nucleus, during these process large amount energy is released.

Where as:

Energy of an object has because of its motion is kinetic energy and energy due to this position is potential energy.

Energy stored in the chemical bond is potential energy by which atoms hold together is called chemical bond energy.

Energy due top flow of electrical charges is electrical energy.

Answer 2

Answer:The correct option is:

'Energy produced from the splitting of atoms'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear energy associated with energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.The nuclear energy generally release during the following two process:

Fusion: When two smaller nuclei combines with each pother.

Fission:When larger nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei.

Where as an energy of an object due to its motion is called Kinetic energy.

Energy stored in chemical bonds is known as chemical energy

Energy due to flow of electrical charges like electrons is termed as electrical energy.

So, from the given options the correct option defining the nuclear energy is:

'Energy produced from the splitting of atoms'.
