Which is more destructive: an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

Suppose a ${ }_{88}^{226} Ra$ nucleus at rest and in the ground state undergoes $\alpha$-decay to a ${ }_{86}^{222} Rn$ nucleus in its excited state. The kinetic energy of the emitted $\alpha$ particle is found to be $4.44 \text{ MeV}$. The ${ }_{86}^{222} Rn$ nucleus then goes to its ground state by $\gamma$-decay. The energy of the emitted $\gamma$-photon is . . . . . . . $\text{keV}$.
[Given: atomic mass of ${ }_{88}^{226} Ra = 226.005 \text{ u}$,atomic mass of ${ }_{86}^{222} Rn = 222.000 \text{ u}$,atomic mass of $\alpha$ particle $= 4.000 \text{ u}$,$1 \text{ u} = 931 \text{ MeV}/c^2$]

Identify the type of nuclear process given below:
$4\,_{1}H^{1} \to \,_{2}He^{4} + 2\,_{1}e^{0} + 2\nu + 26\,MeV$

The solar energy is primarily due to:

The average energy released per fission for the nucleus of $_{92}^{235} U$ is $190 \text{ MeV}$. When all the atoms of $47 \text{ g}$ pure $_{92}^{235} U$ undergo fission process, the energy released is $\alpha \times 10^{23} \text{ MeV}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . . . . . (Avogadro Number $= 6 \times 10^{23} \text{ per mole}$)
