MCQ
The binding energy per nucleon of iron atom is approximately.
- A$13.6\ eV$
- ✓$8.8\ MeV$
- CInfinity
- D$10\ MeV$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$8.8\ MeV$
The maximum binding energy per nucleon occurs at around mass number $A = 50$, and corresponds to the most stable nuclei. Iron nucleus $F^{56}$ is located close to the peak with a binding energy per nucleon value of approximately $8.8\ MeV$ . It’s one of the most stable nuclides that exist.
