    Define nuclear fission.

    Draw a plot of BE/A versus mass number A for 2 le A le 170 . Use this graph to explain the release of energy in the process of nuclear fusion of two light nuclei. OR Using the curve for the binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number A, state clearly how the release in energy in the processes of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion can be explained. OR Draw a plot of the binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number for a large number of nuclei, 2 lt A lt 240 .
