Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In an atomic explosion, enormous energy is released which is due to
A
conversion of chemical energy into heat energy
B
conversion of mechanical energy into nuclear energy
C
conversion of mass into energy
D
conversion of neutrons into protons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Atomic explosion is carried out by via nuclear reaction in which there is net change in mass of the product and reactant and this change in mass gets converted into energy due to which a huge amount of energy in the form of heat is released.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy. Einstein’s equation (E=mc2), which says in part that mass and energy can be converted into each other, explains why this process occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reaction in which two nuclei of light atoms like hydrogen combine to form a heavy and more stable nucleus like helium with the liberation of a large amount of energy is called nuclear reaction. Due to high pressure and temperature nuclear reaction is successful hence enormous energy is released in nuclear reaction.
