Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below : ${ }_{1}^{2} X+{ }_{1}^{2} X={ }_{2}^{4} Y$ The binding energies per nucleon for $\frac{2}{1} X$ and ${ }_{2}^{4} Y$ are $1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $7.6 \,\mathrm{MeV}$ respectively. The energy released in this process is _______________ $\mathrm{MeV}$.

Question

Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below :

${ }_{1}^{2} X+{ }_{1}^{2} X={ }_{2}^{4} Y$

The binding energies per nucleon for $\frac{2}{1} X$ and ${ }_{2}^{4} Y$ are $1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $7.6 \,\mathrm{MeV}$ respectively. The energy released in this process is _______________ $\mathrm{MeV}$.
