In any fission process the ratio $\frac{\text{mass of fission products}}{\text{mass of parent nucleus}}$ is |
Less than 1 Greater than 1 Equal to 1 Depends on the mass of the parent nucleus |
Less than 1 |
In the fission reaction, tremendous amount of energy is released and energy corresponds to mass of substance according the Einstein's mass-energy equivalent relation. Thus ratio of mass of product to the mass of parent nucleus is always less than 1. |
