    The mass defect for the nucleus of helium is 0.0303 a.m.u. What is the binding energy per nucleon for helium in MeV ?

    Assertion: The nuclear energy can be obtained by the nuclear fission of heavier nuclei as well as by fusion of lighter nuclei. Reason: As the mass number increases, the binding energy per nucleon, first increases and then decreases.

    Assertion : In a fission reaction a heavy nucleus is broken into three fragement of nearly equal mass . Reason: The binding energy per nucleon for a heavy nuclei is less than the binding energy per nucleon of the fragments.
