1,
1
H
1 as 4.002603a.m.u,3.016056 a.m.u and 1.007276 a.m.u respectively.​

Answer 1

Answer:

19.3656 Mev

for a stable nuclei for fission an external source of energy , here a photon ,is used this Photon would correspond to the binding energy of the the parent nuclei , if energy more than binding energy is given then the decay products would have kinetic energy and EMR however here it'll only split
