If mass of

U^{235}=235.12142 \mathrm{amu}

, mass of

\mathrm{U}^{236}=1.008665 \mathrm{amu}

, then the energy required to remove one neutron from the nucleus

\mathrm{U}^{236}

is nearly about -

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

6.5 \mathrm{MeV}

Option B (

6.5 \mathrm{MeV}

) is correct because the energy required to remove a neutron is equal to the mass defect multiplied by the energy equivalent of 1 amu (931 MeV).
