CBSEENPH12047739

In any fission process the ratio Mass of parent nucleusMass of fission products is

  • less than 1

  • greater than 1

  • greater than 1

  • depends on the mass of parent nucleus

Solution

A.

less than 1

In fission process, when a parent nucleus breaks into daughter products, then some mass is lost in the form of energy. Thus, mass of fission products < mass of parent nucleus

Mass of friend nucleusMass of fission products < 1
