For atomic nuclei, the binding energy per nucleon

As the mass number A increases, the binding energy per nucleon in a nucleus.

Nuclear energy is released in fusion reaction, since binding energy per nucleon is

Nuclear energy is released in fission since binding energy per nucleon is

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: 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.
