Question

Why don't the law of conservation of mass not apply in the nuclear reactions.

And, Where the extra mass goes??

Answer 1

HELLO !!!!.......

____________________

The law of conservation of mass hold for nuclear reaction also. According to Einstein, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it only changes its phase . Therefore during nuclear reaction, mass is converted to energy

Answer 2

hii Amrit ,, what's going on !!

here is your answer ,,,,

in nuclear rection the nucleus of atom get fusion or fission with another nucleus and the product so formed is not a single it gets increasing gradually .

so no. atoms of product is ≠ no. of atoms of reactant . so it doesn't follow the law of conservation of mass .

OK .,,

the extra mass which forms as a product goes in producing heat and light energy at enormous level.

hope that helps !!
