Question:

The binding energies per nucleon for a deuteron and an $\alpha$-particle are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively. What will be the energy Q released in the reaction ${ }_1 H^2+{ }_1 H^2 \rightarrow_2 H e^4+Q$

Options:

$4\left(x_1+x_2\right)$

$4\left(x_2-x_1\right)$

$2\left(x_1+x_2\right)$

$2\left(x_2-x_1\right)$

Correct Answer:

$4\left(x_2-x_1\right)$

Explanation:

Q = 4 $\left(x_2-x_1\right)$
