Question
Plot a graph showing the variation of binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number. Which property of nuclear force explains the approximate constancy of binding energy in the range 30 < A < 170? How does one explain the release of energy in both the processes of nuclear fission and fusion from the graph?
✓

Answer

Nuclear force is Saturated, or short ranged The final system is more tightly bound when heavy nucleus undergoes nuclear fission. Hence, there is a release of energy. The final system is more tightly bound when light nuclei undergoes nuclear fusion. Hence, there is a releases of energy.Alternate Answer
There is an increase in BE/nucleon both during:
  1. Nuclear fission of heavy nuclei and,
  2. Nuclear fussion of light nuclei Nuclear.
