Binding energy per nucleon
H2 Physics · JC 2 · Easy · Binding energy per nucleon
Two deuterium nuclei fuse to form a helium-3 nucleus and a neutron. The total binding energy of the reactants is MeV and that of the products is MeV. Using the idea of nuclear binding energy, calculate the energy released in this reaction.
- 3.5 MeV
- 11.5 MeV
- 4.0 MeV
- 7.5 MeV
