In any fission process the ratio is

In any fission process the ratio In any fission process the ratio is
is

Options

  1. Aless than 1
  2. Bgreater than 1
  3. Cequal to 1
  4. Ddepends on the mass of parent nucleus

Correct answer

A. less than 1

Step-by-step solution

In fission process, when a parent nucleus breaks into daughter products, then some mass is lost in the form of energy. Thus, mass of fission products << mass of parent nucleus ⇒ Mass of fission Products  Mass of parent nucleus <1\Rightarrow \frac{\text{ Mass of fission Products }}{\text{ Mass of parent nucleus }} < 1
