Assertion (A): | Binding energy per nucleon for nuclei (atomic number \(30\) to \(107\)) is independent of atomic number. |
Reason (R): | Nuclear force is short-range force. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
1. | triton energy is less than that of a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}\) nucleus. |
2. | the electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus. |
3. | both the neutrons in Triton have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with \(3\) protons, which is not a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}.\) nucleus. |
4. | free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in the Triton nucleus. |
(a) | nuclear forces have short-range. |
(b) | nuclei are positively charged. |
(c) | the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fusion can take place. |
(d) | the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other. |
