In a fission reaction,

$$\(^{236}_{92}U\rightarrow ~^{117}X~+~^{117}Y~+~^1_0n~+~^1_0n,\) the binding energy per nucleon of X and Y is 8.5 MeV whereas that of \(^{236}U\) is 7.6 MeV. The total energy liberated will be about:

1. 2000 MeV

2. 200 MeV

3. 2 MeV 

4. 1 keV

A nuclear decay is expressed as 

${}_{6}C_{11}\to {}_{5}B_{11}+{\beta }^{+}+X$

Then the unknown particle X is:

2. antineutrino

3. proton 

4. neutrino

When a deuterium is bombarded on ${}_{8}O_{16}$ nucleus, an $\alpha$-particle is emitted, then the product nucleus is:

1. ${}_{7}N_{13}$ 

2. ${}_{5}B_{10}$

3. ${}_{4}B{e}_9$ 

4. ${}_{7}N_{14}$

A nuclear reaction given by \({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{~X} \rightarrow{ }_{Z+1}^{A} \mathrm{Y}+e^{-}+\bar{v}\) represents:
1. fusion
2. fission

The rate of disintegration of a fixed quantity of a radioactive substance can be increased by:

1. increasing the temperature.

2. increasing the pressure.

3. chemical reaction.

4. it is not possible.
