During nuclear fission mass is converted into energy. When is energy converted into mass?

Answer 1

In an "atom smasher" you accelerate protons faster and faster and you collide them together. Many pieces and fragments are actually much more massive than the proton itself.

Answer 2

That would be a magic trick just like writing graffitti on the wall.
No such thing as converting energy into mass, Except on a biology scale. Usualy the energy input converts to mass usually around the belly of the Body.

Answer 3

The energy is converted into mass through the fission of isotopes.

Answer 4

I think mass is not converted to energy during fission. The atom just releases energy when the splitting occurs.

Answer 5

One example of energy being converted into mass happens when a photon is absorbed by an electron in an atom. The energy of the photon becomes part of the mass of the atom.

(When you burn a piece of wood, some of the heat energy in the fire was contributed by sunlight.)

Another example is any "endothermic reaction," a chemical reaction that absorbs heat (which itself is the kinetic energy or "energy of motion" of matter). The energy is stored in the bonds that are formed by the reaction.

Answer 6

there is no known way to convert a massless energy form into a form that has mass. possibly this happened during the big bang but no one really knows. the term is entropy. unless we can travel backwards in time, ALL mass is (slowly) being transformed into energy, not the other way around.

Answer 7

Nuclear fission splits matter into subatomic particles. Like a shattered egg shell nobody has found a way to put the pieces back together, so no teleportation or "Beam me up Scottie".

Answer 8

You will have to ask the yogis and swamis from india. Those with conjuration will be able to explain to you. Basically mass is made up from thought, so if you wish it to be so then energy in a sense will be converted to mass.

Answer 9

In physics, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the nuclei involved. Iron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei and therefore are the most stable. The fusion of two nuclei lighter than iron or nickel generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than them absorbs energy; vice-versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission.



Nuclear fusion of light elements releases the energy that causes stars to shine and hydrogen bombs to explode. NUCLEAR FUSION OF HEAVY ELEMENTS (ABSORBING ENERGY) OCCURS IN THE EXTREMELY HIGH-ENERGY CONDITIONS OF SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS. Nuclear fusion in stars and supernovae is the primary process by which new natural elements are created. It is this reaction that is harnessed in fusion power.

Answer 10

When a neutron decomposes, the resulting energy is converted into a proton, a electron and an anti neutrino.

Answer 11

when high energy rays bombard the minute sub nuclear particles, then energy of the rays is converted to mass.
