Question

How does the binding energy per nucleon vary with the increase in the number of nucleons?

Answer 1

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 after reaching a maximum.
