Assertion:  The binding energy per nucleon, for nuclei with atomic mass number A > 100 decreases with A. 

Reason:  The nuclear forces are weak for heavier nuclei.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

  • If assertion is true, but reason is false

  • Both assertion and reason are false statements

127.

Assertion:  It is not possible to use  35Cl  as  the fuel for fusion energy.

Reason: The binding energy of  35Cl is too small.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false


C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

The process of nuclear fusion can be explained with the help of concept of binding energy per nucleon of very light nuclei and the intermediate nuclei. Binding energy per nucleon of very light nuclei is less than that of intermediate nuclei. It means light nuclei are less stable than that of intermediate nuclei. As  35Cl  has a large binding energy therefore it cannot be used as fuel for fusion energy.

Assertion: The number of electrons in a p-type silicon  semiconductor is less than the number of electrons in a pure silicon semiconductor at room temperature.

Reason: It is due to law of mass action.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false
