Question

Which of the following is the correct definition of nuclear energy?

Answer 1

A energy stored in chemical bonds of molecules
B energy of an object due to the random motion of its atoms and molecules
C energy produced from the splitting of atoms

Answer 2

Nuclear energy is the release of binding energy (the strong atomic force) by either the fission of atoms or by the functioning of atoms. Both of these processes result in a loss of mass that is represented by a tremendous increase of heat (energy) due to the famous Einstein equation e = mc2.
