In the options given below, let E denote the rest mass energy of a nucleus and n a neutron. The correct option is:

Answer»

`E(""_(92)^(236)U) gt E_(""_(53)^(137)I)+E (""_(39)^(97)Y)+2E(n)`
`E(""_(92)^(236)U) lt E_(""_(53)^(137)I)+E (""_(39)^(97)Y)+2E(n)`
`E(""_(92)^(236)U) lt E_(""_(56)^(140)Ba)+E (""_(36)^(94)Kr)+2E(n)`
`E(""_(92)^(236)U) = E_(""_(56)^(140)Ba)+E (""_(36)^(94)Kr)+2E(n)`

Solution :Rest mass ENERGY of U will be greater than the rest mass energy of nuclei into which it breaks. The constituent nuclei and neutrons will have K.E. ALSO, as a result of conservation of linear momentum.
