Question

Define binding energy and binding energy per nucleon, how does the binding energy per nuclear varies with mass
number? What is its significance? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Binding energy per nucleon is obtained by dividing the binding energy with mass number and is the measure of the stability of nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon is less for lighter nuclides and increase with the mass number. Thus, the binding energy per nucleon decreases with increase in the mass number

Answer 2

Explanation:

Binding energy per nucleon is obtained by dividing the binding energy with mass number and is the measure of the stability of nucleus. The binding energy per nucleon is less for lighter nuclides and increase with the mass number. Thus, the binding energy per nucleon decreases with increase in the mass number...!!!
