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.

All nuclei consist of two types of particles- protaon and neutrons. Nuclear force is the strongest froce. Stability of nucleus is determined by the neutron - proton ratio or mass defect or binding energy per nucleus or packing fraction. Shape of nucleus is calculated by quadrupole moment. Spin of nucleus depends on even or odd mass number. Volume of nucleus depends on the mass number. Whole mass of the atom (nearly 99 % ) is centered at the nucleus. Magnetic moment of the nucleus is measured in terms of the nuclear magnetons. Volume (V) of the nucleus is related to mass number (A) as
