MCQ

Which of the following is wrong statement about binding energy?

A
It is the sum of the rest mass energies of nucleons minus the rest mass energy of the nucleus.
B
It is the energy released when the nucleons combine to form a nucleus.
C
It is the energy required to break a given nucleus into its constituent nucleons.
✓
It is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the nucleons in the nucleus.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

It is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the nucleons in the nucleus.

The first three options are correct from the definition of Binding energy.
$B.E.$ has nothing to do with $K.E.$ of the nucleons in nucleus.
