Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The \(Q\)-value of a nuclear process is the difference between final and initial kinetic energies.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Option (b) is incorrect as, nuclear mass is lower than mass of constituents due to mass defect. Option (c) is incorrect as, Nuclides with same number of protons are isotopes. option (d) is incorrect as, In fusion two or more lighter nuclei combines to form a heavy nucleus.…
