A) increases
B) decreases
C) first increases then decreases
D) first decreases then increases
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Binding energy per nucleon\[=\frac{binding\text{ }energy}{number\text{ }of\text{ }nucleon\text{ (n+p)}}\] Binding energy is measurement of stability of nucleus, as the number of nucleon increase, the binding energy per nucleon first increase then decrease. Intermediate elements are more stable.
