For atomic nuclei, the binding energy per nucleon

when two nuclei (A lt= 10) fuse together to form a heavier nucleus, the (a) binding energy per nucleon increases (b) binding energy per nucleon decreases (c) binding energy per nucleon does not change (d) total binding energy decreases

when two nuclei (A lt= 10) fuse together to form a heavier nucleus, the (a) binding energy per nucleon increases (b) binding energy per nucleon decreases (c) binding energy per nucleon does not change (d) total binding energy decreases

Assertion: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion. Reason: For heavy nuclei, binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing Z while for light nuclei it decreases with increasing Z.

When two nuclei (with A=8) join to form a heavier nucleus , the binding energy (B.E) per nucleon of the heavier nuclei is

When two nuclei (with A=8) join to form a heavier nucleus , the binding energy (B.E) per nucleon of the heavier nuclei is

When the number of nucleons in a nuclues increases the binding energy per nucleon
