Two students were discussing whether or not the total masschanges during a nuclear reaction. The first student insists thatmass is conserved. The second student says that mass isconverted into energy. Explain the context in which eachstudent is correct and how that fact is applied to solveproblems.

Nuclear interactions

In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:
