Question

In nuclear fission, the mass of reactants is more than the mass of products.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

According to Einstein's equation, E = mc², where $m$ is the mass and $c$ is the speed of light states that mass can be converted to energy and vice-versa. In nuclear fission, the mass of reactants is more than mass of the products. The difference in mass is called the mass defect. This mass is converted into energy.
