Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are true in respect of nuclear binding energy?
$(i)$ The mass energy of a nucleus is larger than the total mass energy of its individual protons and neutrons.
(ii) If a nucleus could be separated into its nucleons, an energy equal to the binding energy would have to be transferred to the particles during the separating process.
(iii) The binding energy is a measure of how well the nucleons in a nucleus are held together.
(iv) The nuclear fission is somehow related to acquiring higher binding energy.

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ Are the equations of nuclear reactions 'balanced' in the sense a chemical equation (e.g.,$2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O$) is? If not,in what sense are they balanced on both sides?
$(b)$ If both the number of protons and the number of neutrons are conserved in each nuclear reaction,in what way is mass converted into energy (or vice-versa) in a nuclear reaction?
$(c)$ $A$ general impression exists that mass-energy interconversion takes place only in nuclear reactions and never in chemical reactions. This is strictly speaking,incorrect. Explain.

The dependence of binding energy per nucleon,$B_N$ on the mass number,$A$,is represented by

The mass of a nucleus $_Z^AX$ is denoted by $M(A, Z)$. If $M_p$ and $M_n$ are the masses of a proton and a neutron respectively, the binding energy of this nucleus is given by:

The rest mass of the deuteron,${}_1^2H$,is equivalent to an energy of $1876 \, MeV$. The rest mass of a proton is equivalent to $939 \, MeV$ and that of a neutron is $940 \, MeV$. $A$ deuteron may disintegrate into a proton and a neutron if it:
