प्रश्न
In a typical nuclear reaction, e.g.
`"_1^2H+"_1^2H ->"_2^3He + n + 3.27 \text { MeV },`
although number of nucleons is conserved, yet energy is released. How? Explain.

उत्तर
In a nuclear reaction, the sum of the masses of the target nucleus `("_1^2H)`and the bombarding particle `("_1^2H)` may be greater or less than the sum of the masses of the product nucleus `("_1^3He)` and the outgoing particle `("_0^1n).` So from the law of conservation of mass-energy some energy (3.27 MeV) is evolved or involved in a nuclear reaction. This energy is called Q-value of the nuclear reaction.
