Created by StemPy LabThe binding energy per nucleon is lower for a very heavy nucleus than for iron-56. What is the main reason?
← All Quizzes
← A nucleus with 190 nucleons breaks in two equal fragments. Before the break its binding energy per nucleon is 7.5 MeV, and each fragment has 8.4 MeV per nucleon. Find the total energy given out.A heavy nucleus with 224 nucleons and 7.65 MeV per nucleon splits into two unequal nuclei. One has 96 nucleons with 8.55 MeV per nucleon, and the other has 128 nucleons with 8.45 MeV per nucleon. How much energy is released? →
