Question

when new atoms were formed through nuclear fusion, the mass did not equal the sum of its original parts. where is the missing mass? the difference can be found in the form of energy. the difference can be found in an escaping gas. rewatch

Explanation:

According to Einstein's mass - energy equivalence principle \(E = mc^{2}\), in nuclear fusion, mass is converted into energy. So the missing mass is converted into energy. Escaping gas is not the correct explanation for the mass - energy conversion in nuclear fusion.

Answer:

The difference can be found in the form of energy.
