What happens to the low mass star when the nuclear fusion stops?
It stops at about 0.12 seconds.
If the mass of the Sun decreases because of nuclear fusion why don't we see the Sun decreasing in size?
The amount of mass lost through nuclear fusion is only 7/10 of 1% of the mass of the four hydrogen nuclei. However, it takes a multitude of reactions for the Sun to produce the amount of energy that it does. Each second, the Sun’s lost mass is about 5 million metric tons. When compared to the Sun’s total mass, the amount lost through nuclear fusion is almost insignificant. Therefore, we don't see the Sun decreasing in size.
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 mass defect associated with?
nuclear fusion
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 does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?
Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.
What happens to some of the mass in a nuclear reaction like fusion?
it fusions
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
What happens to the low mass star when the nuclear fusion stops?
It stops at about 0.12 seconds.
What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?
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.

The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
Which source of energy is used for fusion?
Nuclear fusion produces energy from the changes in the nuclear composition of the fuel, which is a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Essentially what happens is that some of the mass of the nuclei is destroyed and this releases energy

Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
In nuclear fusion mass is tansformed into?
Energy
What is mass defect associated with?
nuclear fusion
