How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom? Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased. Energy is relea

sed, so the mass is increased. Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced. Energy is released, so the mass is reduced.

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as :

$E=mc^2$

m is the mass of an atom

c is the speed of light

When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation. So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".
