The binding energies of deutron `(._1H^2)` and `alpha`-particle `(._2He^4)` are 1.25 and 7.2 MeV/nucleon respectively. Which nucleus is more stable?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To determine which nucleus is more stable between the deuteron (H-2) and the alpha particle (He-4), we can analyze their binding energies per nucleon.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understand Binding Energy**:
- Binding energy is the energy required to disassemble a nucleus into its individual nucleons (protons and neutrons). A higher binding energy per nucleon indicates a more stable nucleus.
2. **Identify Given Values**:
...
