Question

Which best describes nuclear energy?

A the energy that matter has due to the vibrations of its particles
B the energy an object has due to its chemical bonds
C the energy generated by a flow of electrons
D the energy stored inside the center of an atom

Answer 1

The correct answer is - D. the energy stored inside the center of an atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each atom has a small center in it called the nucleus and the energy that holds the nucleus or center of the atom together in the atom is known as nuclear energy.

It is the energy that is stored in the center of the atom and normally does not come out, however, in some radioactive atoms the sends some part of the energy as radiation.

Thus, the correct answer is - D. the energy stored inside the center of an atom.
