Question

Average binding energy per nucleon over a wide range is

• A. $8\text{MeV}$
• B. $8.8\text{MeV}$
• C. $7.6\text{MeV}$
• D. $1.1\text{MeV}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8\text{MeV}$

The average binding energy per nucleon over a wide range, $(30<A<170)$ is around $8\text{MeV}$.

Of which, ${\text{Fe}}^{56}$ has the maximum value of average binding energy per nucleon of $8.8\text{MeV}$

Hence, option $\left(A\right)$ is correct.
