(a) Draw a plot showing the variation of potential energy of a pair of nucleons as a function of their separation. Mark the regions where the nuclear force is (i) attractive, and (ii) repulsive. (b) In the nuclear reaction n+ " "_(92)^(235)U to " "_(54)^(a)Xe+ " "_(b)^(97)Sr + 2n determine the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’. |

Answer» Solution :(b) Considering conservation of ATOMIC number as well as MASS number, the nuclear reaction is written as : `n+" "_(92)^(235)UTO " "_(54)^(137)Xe + " "_(38)^(97)Sr + 2n` So, a=137 and b=38. |
