Question

in nuclear reactions:
large amount of energy are converted to small amount
of mass
mass and energy are destroyed
small amounts of mass are changed to large amount of
energy
small amount of mass are converted to large amounts
of mass

Explanation:

Based on Einstein's mass - energy equivalence formula \(E = mc^{2}\), in nuclear reactions, a small amount of mass is converted into a large amount of energy. Mass and energy are not destroyed (violates conservation laws). Converting energy to mass in the way described (large energy to small mass) is not the typical nuclear reaction process, and converting mass to mass is also incorrect.

Answer:

small amounts of mass are changed to large amount of energy
