Which describes energy changes during nuclear fission?





A very large amount of energy is produced from a tremendous mass.




A very large amount of energy is produced from a series of chemical reactions.




A very large amount of energy is produced from a very small mass.

Answer 1

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei (usually large nuclei). When large nuclei, such as uranium-235, fissions, energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.
