The dependence of binding energy per nucleon,$B_N$ on the mass number,$A$,is represented by

Obtain the binding energy of the nuclei $^{56}_{26} Fe$ and $^{209}_{83} Bi$ in units of $MeV$ from the following data:
$m(^{56}_{26} Fe) = 55.934939 \; u$
$m(^{209}_{83} Bi) = 208.980388 \; u$ (in $; MeV$)

The nucleus having the highest binding energy per nucleon is

Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon $(B/A)$ versus mass number $(A)$ is as shown in the figure. Use this plot to choose the correct choice$(s)$ given below.
Figure: $222706-q$
$(A)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $1 < A < 50$ will release energy.
$(B)$ Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the range of $51 < A < 100$ will release energy.
$(C)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $100 < A < 200$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.
$(D)$ Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of $200 < A < 260$ will release energy when broken into two equal fragments.

If the binding energy of deuterium is $2.23 \, MeV$, then its mass defect is ........ $amu$.

Nucleus $A$ has a mass number of $220$ and its binding energy per nucleon is $5.6 \, MeV$. It splits into two fragments '$B$' and '$C$' with mass numbers $105$ and $115$,respectively. The binding energy per nucleon for both '$B$' and '$C$' is $6.4 \, MeV$. The energy $Q$ released per fission will be............$MeV$.
