Select all that apply.

Nuclear energy is released during:

A.)chemical reactions
B.)fission
C.)radioactive decay
D.)breakup of molecular bonds
E.)splitting of atoms

anonymous · Answer

It is either B or E, I think it is B. When fission occurs an atom is split apart creating a nuclear blast of energy that decimates everything within a few miles. *warning*This is based off memory*

anonymous · Answer

ok or it could be both since it does say select all that applys

anonymous · Answer

So you can put a check my more than one?

yepp

anonymous · Answer

So it is B and E. A, C and D are all completely different processes.

anonymous · Answer

Energy is still released from a nucleus in radioactive decay.
C should be a correct answer too.

By the way, a single atom fissioning isn't quite so dramatic. You can get a few hundred MeV from a Uranium atom (about 10$^{-11}$ Joules)
