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

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.

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 .

Four nuclei of an elements undergo fusion to form a heavier nucles, with release of energy. Which of the two - the parent or the daughter nucleus - would have higher binding energy per nucleon ?

Assertion : In a nuclear process energy is released if total binding energy of daughter nuclei is more than the total binding energy of parent nuclei. Reason: If energy is released then total mass of daughter nuclei is less than the total mass of parent nuclei.

Assertion : In a nuclear process energy is released if total binding energy of daughter nuclei is more than the total binding energy of parent nuclei. Reason: If energy is released then total mass of daughter nuclei is less than the total mass of parent nuclei.
