Question 620: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

The binding energy of deuteron is 2.2 MeV and that of $${}_2^4$$He is 28 MeV. If two deuterons are fused to form one $${}_2^4$$He then the energy released is

Accepted Answer

$${}_1^2H$$ + $${}_1^2H$$ $$ 	o $$ $${}_2^4He$$ + energy
Energy released = 28 Ã¢ÂÂ 2 ÃÂ 2.2 = 23.6 MeV

Answer

30.2 MeV

Answer

25.8 MeV

Answer
