    In nuclear fission the percentage of mass converted into energy is about:

    A)  0.01%

    B)  10%

    C)   1%

    D)  0.1%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Fission is a process in which heavy atoms breaks in two lighter ones by bombardment of neutrons, \[\alpha \] particles etc, because of this a mass defect \[(\Delta m)\]is created, which is converted into energy. Only 1% mass is utilised to convert energy. 0-1 to 0-5% mass is only converted into energy. This is the order of mass conversion.
