Question

If in a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1 and m2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus bem3, then

Answer 1

m3 < m1 + m2)

(\ m1 + m2 = m3 + E]

as E = [m1 + m2 - m3] C2

Answer 2

Answer:

m3 < (m1 + m2)

Explanation:

Mass one = m1 (Given)

Mass two = m2  (Given)

Mass of the resultant nucleus = bem3  (Given)

In the process of nuclear fusion, the mass of the end product or the resultant will be always less than the sum of its initial product. The remaining is liberated in the form of energy, for example,  like in sun, the energy is liberated due to the fusion of two hydrogen (H) atoms.

Thus, If in a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1 and m2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus bem3, then the equation will be - m3 < (m1 + m2).
