Question

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom

Answer 1

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased.
Energy is released, so the mass is increased.
Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.
Energy is released, so the mass is reduced.
Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased

they are connected by e =mc2, where e is the energy, m is the mass and c is speed of light , a mass m from the atom must be converted to energy to hold the nucleons together, the mass is termed as mass defects , the energy is termed as binding energy. in technical terms , a mass m must be converted to energy E called binding energy for nuclei of atoms.

Answer 2

E and M are related by E= mc2, where e is energy, m is mass and c is light speed.

When Energy is absorbed, mass is reduced.

whenever Energy is absorbed, mass is reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

THEY ARE RELATED AS

When Energy is absorbed, mass is reduced.

whenever Energy is absorbed, mass is reduced.

E and M are related by E= mc2, where e is energy, m is mass and c is light speed. Mass m from atom must be transformed into energy to keep the nucleons together,therefore mass is called mass defects, energy is called binding energy. Technically, mass must be transformed to energy E, defined as binding energy for atomic nuclei.

When any form of energy is extracted from a process, the energy-related mass is also extracted, and thus the device loses mass. This process mass defect can be measured simply as
`\Delta m = \fra{E}{c^2};`
