Question
inside stars in space, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. this represents which form of energy?
electrical energy
nuclear energy
chemical energy
radiant energy
Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions like fusion. In stars, hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse to form helium. This nuclear fusion process releases a huge amount of energy. Electrical energy involves the flow of electric charge. Chemical energy is related to chemical bonds in molecules. Radiant energy is energy carried by electromagnetic waves. Since the process described is nuclear fusion (a nuclear reaction), it represents nuclear energy.
