Question:medium

The reason for the constancy of binding energy per nucleon of nuclei whose mass number lies between 30 and 170 is

Show Hint

The saturation property of nuclear force is responsible for the nearly constant value of binding energy per nucleon for medium mass nuclei.

  • Short range of nuclear forces
  • The nuclear force between neutron-neutron is greater than the nuclear force between proton-proton
  • Nuclear forces are weak forces
  • Binding energy per nucleon is lower for these nuclei
