He(2)^(3) and He(1)^(3) nuclei have the ...

`He_(2)^(3)` and `He_(1)^(3)` nuclei have the same mass number. Do they have the same binding energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, as `""_(1)He^(3)` has one proton and 2 neutrons, there is no repulsive force inside the nucleus. On the other hand, `""_(2)He^(3)` has two protons and one neutron and a repulsive force acts inside the nucleus. So, the binding energy of`""_(1)He^(3)` is greater than that of `""_(2)He^(3)`.
