One requires energy ${E_n}$ to remove a nucleon from a nucleus and an energy ${E_e}$ to remove an electron from the orbit of an atom. Then:

  • A
    ${E_n} = {E_e}$
  • B
    ${E_n} < {E_e}$
  • C
    ${E_n} > {E_e}$
  • D
    ${E_n} \ge {E_e}$

View Solution

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ The binding energy per nucleon is practically independent of the atomic number for nuclei of mass number in the range $30$ to $170$.
Reason $R:$ Nuclear force is short-ranged.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ nucleus of mass $M + \Delta m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass. If $C$ is the speed of light,and $E_1$ is the binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus and $E_2$ is that for the daughter nuclei,then:

Consider the nuclear reaction $X^{200} \rightarrow A^{110} + B^{90}$. If the binding energy per nucleon for $X$,$A$,and $B$ is $7.4 \, MeV$,$8.2 \, MeV$,and $8.2 \, MeV$ respectively,then the amount of energy released is .......... $MeV$.
