Which change takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?

a) matter is converted to energy.
b) energy is converted to matter.
c) ionic bonds are converted to covalent bonds.
d) covalent bonds are converted to ionic bonds.

Matter is converted to energy.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction we consider that matter is conserved.It means in a chemical reaction the amount of matter on the reactant side is equal to the amount of matter on the product side.

However in case of nuclear reaction the matter gets converted to energy and thus there is loss of matter. Due to this conversion of matter into energy high amount of energy is associated with the nuclear reactions.

There is no change of ionic bond to covalent or vice versa.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
