The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron 
and helium nucleus 
is 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
As given 
energy
The binding energy per nucleon of a deuteron 
Total binding energy of one deuteron nucleus 
The binding energy per nucleon of helium 
Total binding energy 
Hence, energy released in the above process
