Fission is a process in which a nucleus with a large mass number splits into two

Question

Fission is a process in which a nucleus with a large mass number splits into two nuclei, which have smaller mass numbers. TRUE or FALSE onservation of mass is not true for nuclear reactions because energy lost in a nuclear reaction is converted nto ma the reactants of a nuclear reaction are neutrons alpha particles are converted into beta particles mass lost in a nuclear reaction is not destroyed, but converted nto energy fission & fusion are 2 types of nuclear reactions. TRUE or FALSE at is the largest source of carbon-free electricity in America? solar energy nuclear energy coal hydro-electric

Explanation / Answer

Ans :

In the nuclear reactions , the mass of nucleus gets reduced (fission) or increased (fusion) . The mass lost gets converted into energy, and can be calculated using the formula , E = mc2.

So here :

1 : true

2 : mass lost in a nuclear reaction is not destroyed , but converted into energy

3 : True

4 : hydro-electric
