A nucleus with mass number 240 breaks into two fragments each of mass number 120. The binding energy per nucleon of unfragmented nuclei is 7.6 MeV while that of fragments is 8.5 MeV. The total gain in the binding energy in the process is:
MeV
MeV
MeV
MeV
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total gain in binding energy when a nucleus with mass number 240 splits into two fragments each with mass number 120.Given:⢠Mass number of the original nucleus ⢠Mass number of each fragment
