Nuclear Physics and RadioactivityHard
Question
Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon (B/A) versus mass number (A) is as shown in the figure. Consider a nucleus of A = 110. Fission of this nucleus results into 2 fragments. Which of the following could possibly be the mass number of the resulting nuclei?
Options
A.55 & 55
B.70 & 40
C.100 & 10
D.90 & 20
Solution
Fission of a nucleus is feasible only if the B.E. of daughter nuclei is more than the parent nucleus.
