Atoms And Nuclei

Two lighter nuclei combine to form a comparatively heavier nucleus by the relation given below :

\({ }_{1}^{2} X+{ }_{1}^{2} X={ }_{2}^{4} Y\)

The binding energies per nucleon for \(\frac{2}{1} X\) and \({ }_{2}^{4} Y\) are \(1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}\) and \(7.6 \,\mathrm{MeV}\) respectively. The energy released in this process is _______________ \(\mathrm{MeV}\).
