If a $H_2$ nucleus (deuteron) is completely converted into energy,the energy produced will be around .......... $MeV$.

The binding energy per nucleon is maximum in the case of

Write and explain Einstein's theory of special relativity in the context of mass-energy equivalence.

The mass of a $_3^7Li$ nucleus is $0.042 \, u$ less than the sum of the masses of its constituent nucleons. The binding energy per nucleon of the $_3^7Li$ nucleus is approximately ......... $MeV$.

$A$ heavy nucleus having mass number $200$ gets disintegrated into two small fragments of mass numbers $80$ and $120$. If binding energy per nucleon for the parent atom is $6.5 \text{ MeV}$ and for the daughter nuclei is $7 \text{ MeV}$ and $8 \text{ MeV}$ respectively, then the energy released in the decay will be: (in $\text{ MeV}$)

Assertion : In a decay process of a nucleus, the mass of products is less than that of the parent.
Reason : The rest mass energy of the products must be less than that of the parent.
