The above is a plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb, against the nuclear mass M; A, B, C, D, E, F correspond to different nuclei. Consider four reactions :
(i) A + B → C + ε
(ii) C → A + B + ε
(iii) D + E → F + ε
(iv) F → D + E + ε
where ε is the energy released ? In which reactions in ε positive :No solution provided for this question.
