Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are two types of nuclear processes that release energy.
How do the total mass and the total binding energy of the products compare with those of the reactants in both of these processes?
Total mass of products is less than reactants; total binding energy of products is greater than reactants.
Total mass of products is less than reactants; total binding energy of products is less than reactants.
Total mass of products is greater than reactants; total binding energy of products is greater than reactants.
Total mass of products is greater than reactants; total binding energy of products is less than reactants.
