The mass of `._3^7Li` is 0.042 amu less than the sum of masses of its constituents. The binding energy per nucleon is

A

5.586 MeV

B

10.522 MeV

C

2.433 MeV

D

3.739 MeV

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Binding energy, `E_b` of `._3^7Li=Deltam` x 931 MeV
= 0.042 x 931 MeV
Binding energy per nucleon=`(0.042xx931)/7`
=5.586 MeV
