In nuclear reactions, which of the following is likely to occur? some of the mass is converted to energy. the products can weigh less than the reactants. there is no loss of mass in the reaction. a and b

A. Some of the mass is converted to energy.

B.The products can weigh less than the reactants.

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction: A reaction  in which a nuclei splits into two or more  smaller nuclei of mass less than the reactants ,or two or more nuclei combined together  to form heavy nuclei of mass less than the reactants  and huge amount of energy released.

Nuclear reactions are of two types

1. Nuclear fission

2.Nuclear fusion

1. Nuclear fusion: A reaction in which two or more lighter nuclei combined together to form heavy nuclei of mass slightly  less than the total  mass of reactants and a large amount  of energy released. Because  the difference in mass of reactants and products change into energy .

2.Nuclear fission: A reaction in which a heavy nuclei splits into two or more lighter nuclei of total mass slightly less than the mass of reactant. Because  the difference in mass of product and reactant change into energy therefore, a huge amount of energy released during this reaction.

Therefore, Option A and B are correct.

Answer : A. Some of the mass is converted to energy.

B.The products can weigh less than the reactants.

h let me think

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
