प्रश्न
What is the significance of binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus of a radioactive element?
उत्तर
The significance of binding energy is nucleon of a nucleus :
1) The binding energy per nucleon is very high then they undergo fission reaction i.s. A > 170.
2) If, it is low if undergoes fission reaction i.e. A < 30.
3) It is stable when the mass number is between 30 and 170

Derive an expression for the total energy of electron in ‘n' th Bohr orbit. Hence show that energy of the electron is inversely proportional to the square of principal quantum number. Also define binding energy.
Consider the fission of `""_92^238"U"` by fast neutrons. In one fission event, no neutrons are emitted and the final end products, after the beta decay of the primary fragments, are `""_58^140"Ce"` and `""_44^99"Ru"`. Calculate Q for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are
