Question

The electrons of an atom store nuclear energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This statement is False.

The atom is made up of nucleus in which there are neutrons and protons and electrons which are revolving around the atom's nucleus.

nuclear energy is basically energy the source of which is nucleus of the atom. there are two methods by which nuclear energy is produces.

1) Nuclear fission

2) nuclear fusion

In nuclear fission, the neutron is bombarded on the nucleus of an atom of an element. It splits and produces a daughter nucleus, neutrons and huge amount of energy

In nuclear fusion, two nuclei of the atoms fuse and produce huge amount of energy.

In both of above mentioned cases, there is neither any role of electrons to produce energy nor in storing nuclear energy.

So, the given statement is wrong

Key words: Nucleus, Nuclear energy, electron, Nuclear fission, Nuclear fusion, neutrons, atom

Answer 2

False. The nuclear energy is found within the nucleus. Electrons are located outside the nucleus.
