Question

Compared to the energy released per mole of reactant during chemical reactions, the energy
released per mole of reactant during nuclear reactions is
1.
much less
2.
much greater
3.
slightly less
4.
slightly greater

Answer 1

Answer:

2. much greater

Answer 2

The statement, that describes the energy released per mole of reactant during nuclear reactions is "much greater."

What are nuclear reactions?

Nuclear reaction is a sort of reaction in which the structure of an atom's nucleus changes completely, frequently producing a different element while releasing energy.

The energy released by nuclei is far more dense (approximately a million times more dense) than the energy released by atom interactions (chemical reactions). This is what gives nuclear weapons their extraordinarily huge and destructive force when compared to conventional weapons. Nuclear reactions generate more energy than chemical reactions.

Hence the correct option is 2.
