Pick out the correct staternent from the following.

Answer»

Energy released per unit mass of the reactant is less in case of fusion reaction
PACKING fraction may be positive or may be negative
`Pu^(239)` is not suitable from a fission reaction
For stable NUCLEUS, the SPECIFIC binding energy is low.

Solution :Mass defect per nucleon is CALLED packing fraction. Packing fraction `(f)=(trianglem)/(A)=(m-A)/(A)`, where m=mass of nculeus, A=mass number Packing fraction measures the stabiliy of a nucleus. SMALLER the value of packing fractin. Larger is the stability of nucleus. Packing fraction may be positive, negative or zero.
