The average binding energy per nucleon is the best parameter to use in determining whether a given nucleus is likely to undergo fission.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

It is possible to decrease the entropy of a system locally without doing work on the system.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

That depends on how the statement is meant. Fission will only occur for mass
numbers greater than about 56, for which the average binding energy per nucleon is less
than that of nuclei near A = 56.

Answer to Question 2

This is not possible. The only way to reduce entropy locally is to do work on the
system from outside.

Did you know?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

The liver is the only organ that has the ability to regenerate itself after certain types of damage. As much as 25% of the liver can be removed, and it will still regenerate back to its original shape and size. However, the liver cannot regenerate after severe damage caused by alcohol.

The average person is easily confused by the terms pharmaceutics and pharmacology, thinking they are one and the same. Whereas pharmaceutics is the science of preparing and dispensing drugs (otherwise known as the science of pharmacy), pharmacology is the study of medications.

To maintain good kidney function, you should drink at least 3 quarts of water daily. Water dilutes urine and helps prevent concentrations of salts and minerals that can lead to kidney stone formation. Chronic dehydration is a major contributor to the development of kidney stones.
