Answer:
very small amounts of mass
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is the splitting of large atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
Question:
During nuclear fission, great amounts of energy are produced from
a. very small amounts of mass.
b. tremendous amounts of mass.
c. a series of chemical reactions.
d. particle accelerators.
Answer:
The correct answer is
a. Very small amounts of mass
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is the nuclear reaction that involves the splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more lighter nuclei and the production of a huge amount of energy
Nuclear fission involves the input of about 8 million electron volts (MeV) to break the binding nuclear forces. Binding of a neutron to the heavy nucleus of an element of fission material produces 6 MeV of the 8 MeV alone.
The output energy is about 2 trillion Kelvin or 200 MeV for each fission event.
