Question 581: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

In any fission process the ratio
mass of fission products
mass of parent nucleus
is

Accepted Answer

Binding energy per nucleon for fission
products is higher relative to Binding energy
per nucleon for parent nucleus, i.e., more masses
are lost and are obtained as kinetic energy of
fission products. So, the given ratio $$<$$ 1.

Answer

equal to 1

Answer

greater than 1

Answer

less than 1

Answer

depends on the mass of the parent nucleus.
