Question 10 unsaved in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products question 10 options: has no relationship to the mass of the reactants. is less than the mass of the reactants. is greater than the mass of the reactants. is equal to the mass of the reactants.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
