If in a nuclear fusion process, the masses of the fusing nuclei be

{m_1}

and

{m_1}

and the mass of the resultant nucleus be

{m_3}

, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

{m_3} < \,\,\left( {{m_1} + \,\,{m_2}} \right)

Option C is correct because in nuclear fusion, some mass is converted into energy, resulting in the mass of the resultant nucleus being less than the sum of the masses of the fusing nuclei.
