A nucleus with mass number 240 breaks into two fragments each of mass number 120,the binding energy per nucleon of unfrag mented nuclei is 7.6 MeV while that of fragments is 8.5 MeV.the total gain the binding energy in the process is:
BE per nucleon of unfragmented nuclei
BE per nucleon of fragmented nuclei
Increase in BE per nucleon is
for nuleons ,total BE is
