A) less than 1
B) greater than 1
C) equal to 1
D) depends on the mass of parent nucleus
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In fission process, when a parent nucleus breaks into daughter products, then some mass is lost in the form of energy. Thus, mass of fission products < mass of parent nucleus \[\Rightarrow \frac{Mass\,of\,fission\,products}{Mass\,of\,parent\,nucleus}<1\] Note: 1. Nuclear fission was discovered by Ottohan and Strassman. 2. In each fission reaction a tremendous amount of energy \[(\approx \,190\,MeV)\] is released.You need to login to perform this action.
