What parameter is used to measure the stability of a nucleus?

✓
Average binding energy
B
No. of protons
C
No. of neutrons
D
No. of electrons

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Average binding energy

Stability of nucleus is based on average binding energy i.e. binding energy per nucleon. This much energy will be needed for nucleon to break free.
