Transcribed Image Text:

The mass of nucleus X is less than the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus. The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of mass m, and my only if (m + m) < M. Also two light nuclei of masses m; and m, can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M' only if (m; + m) > M'. The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below: H Li 152 Gd 1.007825 u 6.015123 u 151.919803 u H Li 206 Pb 82 2.014102 u 7.016004 u 205.974455 u H 70 30 Zn 209 Bi 83 3.016050 u 69.925325 u 208.980388 u The correct statement is (A) The nucleus Li can emit an alpha particle (B) The nucleus Po can emit a proton. (C) Deuteron and alpha particle can undergo complete fusion. (D) The nuclei 30 Zn and Se can undergo complete fusion.
