Options

A. In fission and fusion processes, the mass of reactant nuclide is greater than the mass of product nuclide.
B. In fission process, BE per nucleon of reactant nucleide is less than the binding energy per nucleon of product nucleide.
C. In fusion process, BE per nucleon of reactant nucleide is less than the binding energy per nucleon of product nucleide.
D. In fusion process, BE per nucleon of reactant nucleide is greater than the binding energy per nucleon of product nucleide.

Answer

a,b,c,

Explanation

In general, fission and fusion processes are exothermic reactions, i.e., energy is released. Hence, mass of products must be less than mass of the reactant nuclide, and `BE//A` of reactants `lt BE//A` of products nuclides.
