Question: Q. 4. Four nuclei of an element undergo fusion to form a heavier nucleus, with release of energy. Which of the two - the parent or the daughter nuclei would have higher binding energy per nucleon?
U[ [CBSE 2018]
Solution:
Ans. Daughter nuclei have higher binding energy per nucleon.
The mass of heavier nucleus (daughter) is less than the sum of masses of combining nuclei. So mass defect is more in daughter nuclei, so binding energy per nucleon is more
