MCQ
What is the average binding energy per nucleon over a wide range?
  • $8\ MeV$
  • B
    $8.8\ MeV$
  • C
    $7.6\ MeV$
  • D
    $1.1\ MeV$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$8\ MeV$

The average binding energy per nucleon is just the total binding energy divided by the number of nucleons. If we consider Na atom, its binding energy is $194\ MeV.$
Its binding energy per nucleon is given by $\frac{194\text{MeV​}}{24}$
$= 8.08\ MeV$
