Binding energies of `._8O^(16)` and `._17Cl^(35)` are `127.35 MeV` respectively. Which of the two nuclei is more stable?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To determine which of the two nuclei, Oxygen-16 (O-16) or Chlorine-35 (Cl-35), is more stable, we will compare their binding energies per nucleon.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Binding Energies**:
- The binding energy of O-16 is given as 127.35 MeV.
- The binding energy of Cl-35 is given as 289.3 MeV.
