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.You need to login to perform this action.
