Nuclear energy is released in fission since binding energy per nucleon is

Options

  1. Asometimes larger and sometimes smaller
  2. Blarger for fission fragments than for parent nucleus
  3. Csame for fission fragments and nucleus
  4. Dsmaller for fission fragments than for parent nucleus

Correct answer

B. larger for fission fragments than for parent nucleus

Step-by-step solution

Nuclear energy is relased in fission because BE/\mathrm{BE} / nucleon is larger for fission fragments than for parent nucleus.
