The alongside is a plot of binding energy per nucleon `E_(b)` ,against the nuclear mass M,A,B,C,D,E,F correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions.
(i) A + B `to` C +` epsilon` (ii) C `to` A + B + `epsilon`
(iii) D + E `to` F + `epsilon` (iv) F `to` D + E + `epsilon` where `epsilon` is the energy released. In which reactions , is `epsilon` positive?

A

(i) and (iii)

B

(ii) and (iv)

C

(ii)and (iii)

D

(i) and (iv)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Energy `(epsilon)` is released when lighter nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus , such as in (i) `A+B to C + epsilon`
Again, energy is released when a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei , such as in (iv) `F to D + E + epsilon`.
