It is often stated that mass is transformed to energy. This is wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved in a chemical reaction - or in a nuclear reaction. The Wikipedia article on "binding energy" clarifies this.

In a nuclear fusion reaction the mass of the products is?
Less than 1%.
Is the total mass after fusion greater or less than before fusion?
The total mass is less after a fusion reaction. Some of the mass is converted into energy and given off due to the nuclear fusion reaction. For example. 2 atoms of hydrogen are fused to become 1 atom of helium. However, the helium atom will have less mass than the combined mass of the 2 original hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is lost via the energy given off from the nuclear fusion reaction.
What is true about the balance of mass in a fusion reaction?
In a fusion reaction the mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants.
Why are the products of nuclear fusion slightly less massive than the reactions?
The products of nuclear fusion are slightly less massive than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass of the reactants is converted into nuclear binding energy to hold the fusion product together.
What are conservation laws obey in each of the nuclear reaction?
for both fission and fusion is E=Mc2 energy is mass and vise verse, in both fission and fusion some mass gets lost in the process. this mass gets converted to energy.
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
What happens to some of the mass in a nuclear reaction like fusion?
it fusions
In a nuclear fusion reaction the mass of the products is?
Less than 1%.

In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
How is energy created from nuclear energy as per the first law of thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be transformed, but not created nor destroyed. In a nuclear reaction, mass is transformed into energy.
What is true about the balance of mass in a fusion reaction?
In a fusion reaction the mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants.
What is the mass number of reactants of fission and fusion?
In a nuclear reaction, the mass numbers of the particles play an important part. The relationship between the mass numbers of the reactants and those of the products is that, they should be the same.
What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?
Combining the nuclei of atoms is called Nuclear Fusion. A reaction that is found in stars.
Why are the products of nuclear fusion slightly less massive than the reactions?
The products of nuclear fusion are slightly less massive than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass of the reactants is converted into nuclear binding energy to hold the fusion product together.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
