NEET Physics Mass-Energy Relation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The energy associated with nuclear processes is significantly higher than that of chemical processes. | Reason (R): The mass defect in a nucleus is converted into binding energy, which is about a million times larger than the energy changes in chemical reactions.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion and reason are both true and connected because the mass-energy relation explains why nuclear energy is much greater than chemical energy, as stated in the NCERT context.
