MCQ
The binding energy per nucleon of iron atom is approximately.
- A13.6eV
- B8.8MeV
- CInfinity
- D10MeV
✓
Answer
- 8.8MeV
Explanation:
The maximum binding energy per nucleon occurs at around mass number A = 50, and corresponds to the most stable nuclei. Iron nucleus F56 is located close to the peak with a binding energy per nucleon value of approximately 8.8MeV . It’s one of the most stable nuclides that exist.
