When two light nuclei fuse to form a relatively heavier nucleus, then the specific binding energy of the product nucleus is
- A lower than that of the reacting nuclei
- B equal to that of the reacting nuclei
- C greater than that of the reacting nuclei
- D equal to exactly half of either of the reacting nuclei
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) greater than that of the reacting nuclei
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In fusion of two lighter nuclei to form a relatively heavier nucleus, energy is released. So, the binding energy of the stable product nucleus must be greater than that of the reacting nuclei.
