Detailed Solution

 Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed during any physical or chemical change.

Considering the case of nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegrations. These reactions release huge amount of energy during their process which results in a significant energy change in mass (mass gets converted into energy). That’s why law of conservation of mass holds good for all except nuclear reactions.
