Physics · Nuclei
The binding energy per nucleon (Eb) curve as a function of atomic mass number (A) shows a peak for intermediate nuclei and falls off for both very light and very heavy nuclei. Consider the following hypothetical reactions where energy released is denoted by ε: (a) A + B → C + ε (fusion of light nuclei) (b) C → A + B + ε (c) F → D + E + ε (fission of a very heavy nucleus) For which of these reactions is the energy released ε positive?
