    Which region of binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve indicates that the nucleus also have some kind of its own structure.

    A) A and B

    B) B and C

    C) Only A

    D) Only C

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In region A, binding energy increases and then decreases, it again increases and then decreases. This indicates that binding energy reaches a local maximum and then reduces as nucleon number increases. This is possible, if one of nucleus is stable and then next nucleus with more nucleons is unstable because now nucleus may form a half filled shell.
