Question

In the options given below, let E denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and n , a neutron. The correct option is, E ( U 92 236 ) > E ( I 53 137 ) + E ( Y 39 97 ) + 2 E ( n ), E ( U 92 236 ) E ( I 53 137 ) + E ( Y 39 97 ) + 2 E ( n ), E ( U 92 236 ) E ( Ba 56 140 ) + E ( Kr 36 94 ) + 2 E ( n ), E ( U 92 235 ) > E ( Ba 56 140 ) + E ( Kr 36 94 ) + E ( n )

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Rest mass of parent nucleus should be greater than the rest masses of daughter nuclei. Therefore, the option ( E ( U 92 236 ) > E ( I 53 137 ) + E ( Y 39 97 ) + 2 E ( n ) ) will be correct.
