A heavy nucleus of mass \(\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{X}}\) decays into two nuclei (Y and Z) of masses \(M_{y} \text { and } M_{z}\)

The Q value of the reaction is

  1. \(\left(M_{X}-M_{Y}-M_{Z}\right) c^{2}\)
  2. \(\left(M_{X}+M_{Y}+M_{Z}\right) c^{2}\)
  3. \(\left(M_{y}+M_{z}-M_{x}\right) c^{2}\)
  4. none of the above

Answer

(A) (M_ X -M_ Y -M_ Z ) c^ 2
