Suppose, we think of fission of a `"_26^56Fe` nucleus into two equal fragments, `"_13^28Al` . Is the fission energetically possible? Argue by working out Q of the process. Given m (``"_26^56Fe` ) = 55.93494 u and m (``"_13^28Al` ) = 27.98191 u.

Obtain the binding energy of the nuclei "_26^56Fe and "_83^209Bi in units ofMeV from the following data: m ("_26^56Fe) = 55.934939 u m ("_83^209Bi) = 208.980388 u

The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei "_20^41Ca and "_13^27Al from the following data: m( "_20^40Ca ) = 39.962591 u m( "_20^41Ca )= 40.962278 u m( "_13^26Al ) = 25.986895 u m( "_13^27Al ) = 26.981541 u
