In nuclear fission process, energy is released because [2001]

1. mass of products is more than mass of nucleus.

2. total binding energy of products formed due to nuclear fission is more than that the parent fissionable material.

3. total binding energy of products formed due to nuclear fission is less than parent fissionable material.

4. mass of some particles is converted into energy.

The average binding energy of a nucleon inside an atomic nucleus is about [1989]

1. 8 MeV

2. 8 eV

3. 8 J 

4. 8 erg

A nucleus with Z = 92 emits the following in a sequence:

1. 74 

2. 76 

3. 78

4. 82

In nuclear fission, the percentage of mass converted into energy is about

1.  1%

2.  0.1%

3.  0.01%

4.  10%
