Mass.
The total mass of the fragment nuclei after fission, or the composite nucleus after fusion,
is less than the mass of the nuclei that entered the process.
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.
Mass can be conveted into energy by a nuclear reaction. The ammount of energy converted can be calculated by E=mc^2. So for every gram that is lost 9,000,000,000,000,000 J of energy will be released. That is enough to power a 100 Watt light bulb for 3 million years. That's a lot of energy.
Not sure what you mean with "transfer into energy". No new energy is created, and no energy is destroyed. Nuclear fission converts nuclear energy (a type of potential energy) available in the atoms, into other types of energy, like heat.
Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.
Matter and Energy
No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.
Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.
That mass can not be gained nor lost - except in a nuclear reaction where it can be exchanged for energy.
energy of a reaction will be lost in the form of heat.
thermal energy lost
Some heat is lost in the vapour that rises from the power plant.
Lost Energy was created in 2008.
how am i meant to know you
its converted to energy
