Question

Consider the nuclear fission

Ne²⁰ $ \to $ 2He⁴ + C¹²

Given that the binding energy/ nucleon of Ne²⁰, He⁴ and C¹² are, respectively, 8.03 MeV, 7.07 MeV and 7.86 MeV, identify the correct statement -

8.3 MeV energy will be released

energy of 11.9 MeV has to be supplied

energy of 12.4 MeV will be supplied

energy of 3.6 MeV will be released
