Answer 1

you can use E=mcsquare

Answer 2

As we are becoming more more than an industrial day by day the consumption of our daily energy sources is increasing humongously.

That's why nuclear power resources are becoming more popular nowadays.

According to the question;

Statement that describes why energy is released in a nuclear fission reaction based on mass-energy equivalence is :

Ans:- Option C

For small nuclei, the binding energy of the lighter nuclei is greater than the binding energy of the heavier nucleus.
