Which of the following best explains why energy is released during nuclear fission of U-235?

Question

Accepted Answer

The total binding energy of the fission products is higher than U-235 and the fission neutron

Answer

The increase in the total number of nucleons after U-235 absorbs a neutron results in a more massive nucleus

Answer

The fission fragments are heavier and have lower potential energy than the original nucleus

Answer

Fission causes electrons to be stripped from atoms and energy is released when they recombine
