The `.^(238)U` nucleus has a binding energy of about 7.6 MeV per nucleon. If the nucleus were to fission into two equal fragments, each would have a kinetic energy of just over 100 MeV. From this, it can be concluded that

A

nuclei near A = 119 has mass less than half that of `.^(238)U`.

B

nuclei near A = 119 have masses greater than half that of `.^(238U`

C

nuclei near A = 119 must be bound by about 6.7 MeV / nucleon

D

nuclei near A = 119 must be bound by about 8.5 MeV / nucleon

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
`200=238xxE-238xx7.6`
`(200)/(238)+7.6=E`

A nucelus has binding energy of 100 MeV . It further releases 10 MeV energy. Find the new binding energy of the nucleus.

A heavy nucleus X of mass number 240 and binding energy per nucleon 7.6 MeV is split into two fragments Y and Z of mass numbers 110 and 130. The binding energy of nucleons in Y and Z is 8.5MeV per nucleon. Calculate the energy Q released per fission in MeV.

Statement-1:In a spontaneous fission reaction a heavy nucleus is split into two medium sized ones, each of the new nuclei will have more binding energy per nucleon than the original nucleus Statement-2:Joining two light nuclei together to give a single nucleus of medium size means more binding energy per nucleon in the new nucleus .
