Question

The bulk of energy released in nuclear fission appears as

• A. kinetic energy of nuclear fragments
• B. heat energy
• C. radiant energy
• D. chemical energy

Answer 1

The correct option is A kinetic energy of nuclear fragments

nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts. The fission process often produces free neutrons and photons, and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay.
