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.

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.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Side effects from substance abuse include nausea, dehydration, reduced productivitiy, and dependence. Though these effects usually worsen over time, the constant need for the substance often overcomes rational thinking.
