Answer
(a) Nuclear energy arises from radioactive processes like decay, fission, or fusion. During these changes, the combined mass of product nuclei becomes less than that of the reactant nuclei, resulting in a mass loss. This mass loss leads to liberation of energy which is known as nuclear energy.
(b) β-radiation.
(c) The nuclear reaction for β-radiation is given below:
(d) Isobars.
