Question

The energy released in an atom bomb explosion is mainly due to: (A) release of neutrons (B) release of electrons (C) greater mass of products than initial material (D) lesser mass of products than initial material

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The source of large energy, produced during atom bomb explosion, is the mass-defect occuring during the fission reaction, which is converted into energy equivalent to mass defect.

Q. The energy released in an atom bomb explosion is mainly due to:

release of neutrons

release of electrons

greater mass of products than initial material

lesser mass of products than initial material

The source of large energy, produced during atom bomb explosion, is the mass-defect occuring during the fission reaction, which is converted into energy equivalent to mass defect.
