(a) Which property of nuclear force explains the constancy of binding energy per nucleon for nuclei in the range 20 < A <170?
(b) Complete the following nuclear reactions:
(i)
(ii)
(a) The property of short-range of nuclear force explains the consistency of binding energy per nucleon for nuclei in the range 20 < A <170.
(b) (i) It is decay
The reaction is
in this,
A= 32
Z =16
(ii) It is a fusion reaction,
So,
Y= Ne
A= 20
z=10
