While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared).
In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.

Iām a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
ChargeThe count of nucleons
What happens to total amount of mass in chemical reaction?
The mass remains conserved... while it is in case of a nuclear reaction where the total mass changes... in chemical reaction there is no change in mass...
What is always conserved in a chemical reaction?
mass
What is conserved during a reaction?
Both mass and charge
The total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction is the same .Thus energy is what?
Therefore energy is conserved.
What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?
In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.

In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.

In a nuclear fusion reaction mass is transformed into?
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.
What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?
Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.
Can you convert matter into energry?
Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.
