Question

Which of the following results in the release of nuclear energy?

Answer 1

c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

• Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
• In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.
