Atoms And Nuclei Question 339
Question: The binding energies per nucleon for a deuteron and an $ \alpha $ -particle are $ x_{1}, $ and $ x_{2} $ respectively. What will be the energy Q released in the reaction $ _{1}H^{2}+ _{1}H^{2}\to _{2}H^{4}+Q $
Options:
A) $ 4( x_{1}+x_{2} ) $
B) $ 4( x_{2}-x_{1} ) $
C) $ 2( x_{1}+x_{2} ) $
D) $ 2( x_{2}-x_{1} ) $
Show Answer
Answer:
