Both $(a)$ and $(b)$.

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The rest mass of a stable nucleus is always less than the sum of the rest masses of its constituent nucleons. This difference is known as the mass defect,$\Delta m$. The energy equivalent to this mass defect,given by $\Delta m c^2$,is the binding energy that keeps the nucleons together.Nuclear fission is a process in which a very heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei,releasing a significant amount of energy.Nuclear fusion involves the combining of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus,not medium-mass nuclei as stated in option $(c)$.Therefore,both statements $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.

Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
