If a nuclear fusion process the masses of the fusing nuclei be m1m_1 and m2m_2 and the mass of the resultant nucleus be m3m_3, then:

Options

  1. Am3=m1+m2m_3=m_1+m_2
  2. Bm3=∣m1+m2∣m_3=\left|m_1+m_2\right|
  3. Cm3<(m1+m2)m_3 < \left(m_1+m_2\right)
  4. Dm3>(m1+m2)m_3>\left(m_1+m_2\right)

Correct answer

C. m3<(m1+m2)m_3 < \left(m_1+m_2\right)

Step-by-step solution

Product is more stable so that is mass is less than the sum masses of reactants i.e m3<(m1+m2)m_3 < \left(m_1+m_2\right).
