Question

Nuclear forces show saturation property, this can be explained by the fact that

• A. binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve rises sharply with increase in mass number for ware mass numbers
• B. binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve falls for heavier masses
• C. binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve is flat for mass numbers 50 to 100
• D. binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve has a maxima for A=56

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Correct answer is (c) binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve is flat for mass numbers 50 to 100
