Question

mention any two points of difference between the phenomenon of nuclear fission . explain using the graph for binding energy per nucleon (BE/A)
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For fusion processes, the binding energy per nucleon will increase and some of the mass will be converted and released as energy E=mc². Fission of elements heavier than iron may release energy to generate nuclei with greater binding energy (per nucleon).Sep 22, 2020
