1: 16
4 : 1
1: 4

A nucleus of mass M + Δm is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass M/2 each. The speed of light is c.
The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is E1 and that for the daughter nuclei is E2. Then
E1 = 2E2
E2 = 2E1
E1 > E2
E1 > E2
A nucleus of mass M + Δm is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass M/2 each. Speed of light is c.

A radioactive nucleus (initial mass number A and atomic number Z) emits 3 α–particles and 2 positions. The ratio of number of neutrons to that of protons in the final nucleus will be
A radioactive nucleus A with a half-life T, decays into a nucleus B. At t = 0, there is no nucleus B. At some time t, the ratio of the number of B to that of A is 0.3. Then, t is given by
t = T log (1.3)
The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb, against the nuclear mass M; A, B, C, D, E, F correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions:
(i) A + B → C + ε (ii) C → A + B + ε
