  1. mass deficiency

    Mass deficiency, also known as mass defect, refers to the difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This slight change in mass during the formation of the nucleus is due to the conversion of mass into binding energy, which holds the nucleus together, as per Einstein's theory of relativity (E=mc^2). It is this energy release that makes nuclear reactions (like in the sun or nuclear power plants) possible.
