Atoms and Nuclei question

2005 · Q144

NEETPhysicsAtoms and NucleiMCQ+4 / −1
Fission of nuclei is possible because the binding energy per nucleon in them
  1. A
    increases with mass number at low mass numbers
  2. B
    decreases with mass number at low mass numbers
  3. C
    increases with mass number at high mass numbers
  4. D
    decreases with mass number at high mass numbers.
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

For nuclei having A >\gt > 56 binding energy per nucleon gradually decreases.
