Simple question:
We have defect of mass delta(m) in some nucleus. This simply means that sum of all protons and neutrons is larger than the measured mass of the nucleus.
When I break this bound energy, that mass defect that is turned into bound energy, I have fission? Assuming that I do this with a neutron(most easily approaches nucleus). Energy will be released equal to this bound energy?
Shouldn't then those protons and neutrons, that were scattered, be "defected"?
