MCQ
In the process of fission, the binding energy per nucleon:
  • A
    Increases
  • B
    Decreases
  • C
    Remains unchanged
  • D
    Increases for mass number A<56 nuclei but decreases for mass number A>56 nuclei

Answer

  1. Increases

Explanation:

For fission, energy to be realeased

E = (BE)products​ − (BE)reactants​

If products have to be more stable than the reactant, the BE per nucleon has to be higher for products.
Hence, it releases the energy and reaction continues.
