Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.
It is true that nuclear reaction produce huge amounts of energy by transforming tiny amounts of matter.
Yes, it is actually annihilation of matter that produces the energy in nuclear fission, which is the reaction that powers power plants
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
Nuclear matter! including mostly of uranium, used to create neuclear fusion, a advanced chamical reaction that putes out a lot of energy

Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.

A nuclear reaction - either fusion or fission - is required to turn matter into energy.
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
It doesn't really. The equation E = MC2 refers to the total conversion of matter into pure energy. The sun does not convert matter directly into energy, it combines atoms of hydrogen together to form helium. This is just a nuclear fusion reaction and doesn't have anything to do with Einstein's equations.
There is no such thing as matter-to-energy conversion. It is commonly said, in popular science, that in a nuclear reaction "matter is converted to energy"; actually, both mass and energy are conserved - if you consider all masses involved, the amount of mass before the reaction is the same as after the reaction; the same applies to energy. Search the Wikipedia on "mass deficit", for a more detailed explanation.

in a nuclear reaction, matter (atoms) will be converted to energy. Other than that, no. That is called the conservation of mass.
Firstly, no it doesn't. That's not chemistry, it's physics.How it works basically boils down to E = mc2. If you convert a tiny amount of matter into energy, you get a tremendousamount of energy."Can Our World Sustain This Luxury" is basically meaningless.
Nuclear physicists have theorized that it is possible to transform matter into energy and energy into matter.
