CBSE Class 12-science Answered
The mass of the nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the nucleons forming it, why?

Expert Answer
In the formation of the nucleus, the neutron and protons have to collect in a very small space whose size is of the order of 10-14m. The energy required for this purpose is spent by the nucleons at the cost of their masses. As a result of this, the mass of the nucleus formed becomes less than the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons.
