The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron and helium nucleus is and respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Use binding energy per nucleon to find total binding energies
For deuteron :
- Number of nucleons
- Binding energy per nucleon
So, total binding energy of one deuteron is
Since two deuterons react,
- Find total binding energy of helium nucleus
For helium nucleus :
- Number of nucleons
- Binding energy per nucleon
So, total binding energy is
- Energy released in the reaction
When lighter nuclei combine to form a more tightly bound nucleus, energy released is the increase in total binding energy:
Thus,
- Match with options
corresponds to Option A.
