Summary: Mass and energy are interconnected, but not always. Energy exists without being converted into mass, such as photons. Mass is converted into energy through nuclear reactions, fission, fusion, or radioactive decay. Energy is stored in mass without considering wave speed. Energy conversion units include Joules and electron volts. Small amounts of mass can be converted into energy through fission, fusion, or spontaneous radioactive decay.
Description: Energy exists in massless subatomic particles like photons, but not always vice versa. Electrons absorb photons without mass change. Mass converts into energy through nuclear reactions or radioactive decay. Discrete energy is stored in the mass without nuclear reactions, without considering wave speed. 1 kg m^2/s^2 energy is the derived unit of 1 joule in SI units for mass-energy conversion. The electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy. 1 eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 J. Incredible amounts of energy are converted from small amounts of mass through fission, fusion, and spontaneous radioactive decay. The mass of matter (m) contains discrete energy, similar to the atomic nucleus, electron, and electron energy.
