Statement I : Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion.
Statement II : For heavy nuclei, binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing Z while for light nuclei it decreases with increasing .
Statement II : For heavy nuclei, binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing Z while for light nuclei it decreases with increasing .
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement - I is true, statement - II is false
Statement I is true because fission and fusion release energy. Statement II is false because binding energy per nucleon decreases for heavy nuclei with increasing Z.
