In the Sun, fusion reactions create helium nuclei. To form each helium nucleus, four hydrogen nuclei fuse. The four hydrogen nuclei have a greater total mass than the newly formed helium nucleus. Which statement explains this difference in mass?​

 the mass deficit is directly proportional to bond reeling

Explanation:

The effect of the mass deficit in the nuclei is

          δ = m_nucleons - m_nucleo

the delta quantity is the binding energy of the atomic nucleus,

This mass is related to energy by the Einstein relation

         ΔE = c² Δm

therefore the mass deficit is directly proportional to bond reeling

C. Some of the mass of the four hydrogen nuclei was converted into

energy
