Nuclear fussion
In nuclear fussion, for example
H with mass number 2 and atomic number 1 + H with mass number 3 and atomic number 1 change to He with mass number 4 and atomic number 2 + 1 neutron + Energy
In the above equation, Energy is said to be come from the mass lose in the reaction. But in the equestion all the atoms and neutrons are conserve, why there is a lost of mass which convert to energy?

In the actual fact, the "mass number" of an isotope is not the real "mass" of the nucleus. It only indicates the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus.
Due to the strong electrostatic repulsion between like charges, protons present in a nucleus are subject to repulsion from one another. To overcome this repulsion, there exists a binding force (this force is known as strong nuclear interaction force) in the nucleus holdings all nucleons together to form a nucleus. The origin of this force "appears" to come from the slight reuction in mass of each mucleon. Hence, although the number of nucleons before and after the fusion reaction remains the same, the actual masses of these nucleons apprea to be different because of the action of binding energy in the nucleus. The difference in binding energies before and after the fusion reaction is released during the fusion process.
