In nuclear reactions, we have the conservation of:
Correct answer: D. Mass-Energy and Momentum
- A. Mass Only
- B. Energy Only
- C. Momentum Only
- D. Mass-Energy and Momentum
Explanation
In a nuclear reaction, the total (relativistic) energy is conserved. It means that mass, energy and momentum all are conserved. The total momentum of the interacting particles before and after a reaction is the same

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
