If the total binding energies of `._(1)H^(2),._(2)He^(4),._(26)Fe^(56)` and `._(92)U^(235)` nuclei are `2.22, 28.3, 492` and `1786MeV` respectively, identify the most stable nucleus out of the following

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Binding energy per nucleon for `_(1)H^(2)` and `_(2)He^(4),_(26)Fe^(56)` and `_(92)U^(235)`are respectively,
`2.22/2, 28.3 /4 , 1786 / 235`
Out of them all `492 / 56` is the greatest . Therefore , `_(26)Fe^(56)` is the most bound or most stable nucleus.
