After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be more than that of their parent nucleus.

Q. A nucleus of mass $M + Δ m$ is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $\frac{M}{2}$ each. Speed of light is c

Question
The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is $E_{1}$ and that for the daughter nuclei is $E_{2}$ . Then

$E_{2} = 2 E_{1}$

$E_{1} > E_{2}$

$E_{2} > E_{1}$

$E_{1} = 2 E_{2}$

After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be more than that of their parent nucleus.

Q. A nucleus of mass M+Δm is at rest and decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass 2M​ each. Speed of light is c Question The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is E1​ and that for the daughter nuclei is E2​. Then

E2​=2E1​

E1​>E2​

E2​>E1​

E1​=2E2​
