Fission of nuclei is possible because the binding energy per nuclei in them

For atomic nuclei, the binding energy per nucleon

Draw the graph showing thervariation of binding energy per nucleon with mass number. Give therason for the decrease of binding energy per nucleon for nuclei with high mass numbers. The binding energy per nucleon for nuclei with high mass number is low due to the large coulomb repulsion between the protons inside these nuclei.

Choose the correct from the following. A) Large mass number nuclei undergo fission B) Low mass number nuclei undergo fusion C) For heavy nuclei the decrease in binding energy per nucleon shows the contribution of the increasing coulomb repulsion.

In the process of fission, the binding energy per nucleon

The binding energy per each nucleon in the neighborhood of medium nuclei is 8.5 MeV and the binding energy per each nucleon is about 7.6 MeV and the neighborhood of Uranium. The energy released in the fission of U ^(236) is
