True. Nuclear reactions involve the release or absorption of large amounts of energy. This is due to the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2.
True. Nuclear reactions involve a large amount of energy. When atomic nuclei undergo either fusion (combining together) or fission (splitting apart), a tremendous amount of energy is released. This is due to the fact that the strong nuclear force, which holds protons and neutrons together, is much stronger than other fundamental forces such as gravity or electromagnetic forces. As a result, when the nucleus of an atom undergoes a nuclear reaction, a large amount of energy is released in the process. This energy can be harnessed for various purposes, such as generating electricity in nuclear power plants or producing weapons.
