Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleus` (B//A)` versus mass number `(A)` is as shown in the figure Use this plot to choose the correct (s) choice given below

A

Fusion of nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of `1 lt A lt50` will release energy.

B

Fusion of nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of `51 lt A lt100` will release energy.

C

Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of `100 lt A lt 260` will release energy when broken into equal fragments.

D

Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of `200 lt A lt 260` will release energy when broken into equal fragments.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,d
In fusion, two or more lighter nuclei combine to make a comparatively heavier nucleus.
In fission, a heavy nucleus beaks into two or more comparatively lighter nuclei.
Further, energy will be released in a nuclei process if total binding energy increases.
Hence, correct options are (b) and (d).
