If the binding energy per nucleon (see the graph in Figure 11.16 ) increased steadily with ass
Question:
If the binding energy per nucleon (see the graph in Figure 11.16) increased steadily with ass number instead of peaking around A = 56, would nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions work the same way they do now? Explain.
