For the stabilty of any nucleus,

A

binding energy per nucleon will be more

B

binding energy per nucleon will be less

C

number of electrons will be more

D

None of the aobve

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The binding energy of a nucleus is the energy required to take its nucleus away from one another. It is generally expressed as binding energy per nucleus.Higher the binding energy per nucleon, more stable is the nucleus.

Suppose we have one iron nucleus. We know that the entire positive charge of the atom is carried by the nucleus. In order to understand the electric field of nucleus, it is suggested that we shall assume that the entire positive charge of nucleus is uniformly distributed over the volume of the nucleus. Iron is a conductor, and we know that in any conductor charge cannot be distributed over the volume. Is it fine to assume volume distribution of charge inside the nucleus?
