The energy required to separate a neutron and a proton from the nucleus is called:

Sulphur $-35$ $(34.96903 \ amu)$ emits a $\beta -$ particle but no $\gamma -$ rays,the product is chlorine $-35$ $(34.96885 \ amu)$. The maximum energy emitted by the $\beta -$ particle is (in $MeV$)

Statement $1$: The nuclide $_{13}^{30}Al$ is less stable than $_{20}^{40}Ca$. Statement $2$: Nuclides containing an odd number of neutrons are generally unstable.

When a slow neutron goes sufficiently close to a ${^{235}U}$ nucleus,then the process which takes place is

Radioactivity of the neptunium series stops when it is converted to:

The measure of binding energy of a nucleus is the
