The binding energy of deuteron $_1^2H$ is $1.112 \, MeV$ per nucleon and an $\alpha$-particle $_2^4He$ has a binding energy of $7.047 \, MeV$ per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction $_1^2H + _1^2H \to _2^4He + Q$,the energy $Q$ released is ........ $MeV$.

Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below:
${ }_{1}^{2} X +{ }_{1}^{2} X ={ }_{2}^{4} Y$
The binding energies per nucleon of ${ }_{1}^{2} X$ and ${ }_{2}^{4} Y$ are $1.1 \, MeV$ and $7.6 \, MeV$ respectively. The energy released in this process is in $MeV$.

Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because

When Uranium is bombarded with neutrons,it undergoes fission. The fission reaction can be written as ${}_{92}U^{235} + {}_0n^1 \to {}_{56}Ba^{141} + {}_{36}Kr^{92} + 3x + Q$,where three particles named $x$ are produced and energy $Q$ is released. What is the name of the particle $x$?

If $200 \text{ MeV}$ of energy is released in the fission of one nucleus of ${ }_{92}^{236} U$, the number of nuclei that must undergo fission to release an energy of $1000 \text{ J}$ is
