(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear binding energy and the mass defect:
Nuclear binding energy is the minimum energy that would be required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its component parts. These component parts are neutrons and protons which are collectively called nucleons. The mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent protons and neutrons according to Einstein’s equation
