Q. Consider the following statements and and identify the correct answer given below: Statement: Positive values of packing fraction, implies a large value of binding energy. Statement: The difference between the mass of the nucleus and the mass number of the nucleus, is called packing fraction.

EAMCETEAMCET 2004

Solution:

Mass defect per nucleon in the nucleus is called the packing fraction. i.e., Packing fraction $ f=\frac{M-A}{A} $ When M = mass of atom, A = mass number packing fraction of nuclear is closely related with binding energy. It is different for different elements. Hence, statements A and B both are false.
