Matter is NOT converted to energy. In a nuclear reaction (as well as a chemical reaction, or any other process), both mass and energy are conserved separately. For more information, read the Wikipedia article about "Binding energy", and especially the section about mass deficit.

Is it possible to turn energy into matter?
Yes, it is possible to transform energy into matter. Doing so would require an enormous amount of energy, but it is theoretically possible.
Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
Must energy always be conserved?
Matter and energy are always converted due to the theory of relativity.
Does matter ever go away or change?
Matter can never go away or disappear as such, but it can be converted into different forms of matter or converted into energy in accordance with the famous equation E=mc2 where E is energy, m is mass and c2 is the square of the speed of light. Matter is commonly converted into different forms (with the release of energy) during radioactive decay, in nuclear reactors and inside stars.
How might a system be described in terms of matter and energy?
i don know.
What happened when the matter and antimatter met?
When a particle and its antiparticle meet, they are converted into energy. The amount of energy is described by the famous equation e = mc2
Is energy a element compound or a mixture?
None of these. It is energy. It is not matter. But according to the law of relativity, energy can be converted into matter.

What is the grand total of energy in a matter?
In theory, according to the Theory of Relativity, matter has an equivalent energy, that can be calculated as E = mc2. That is, a kg. of matter has an energy equivalent of 9x1016 joules. This doesn't mean that all that energy can actually be converted, but in some cases it can - for example, when matter collides with antimatter, it all gets converted to energy.
Is the sun shine a matter?
it is matter in that all energy can be converted to matter, using E=mc^2
What existed before antimatter?
the question makes no sense, anti matter is produced when energy is converted into matter. no matter what, when energy converts into matter both matter and anti matter is created, and they can unite once more to be converted back into energy, basicly, ther is the same amount of anti matter particles as there are normal matter particles, but that's a diffrent story
Matter occupies space and has mass. Explain how energy must be described in terms of these two factors. Then define energy?
