From the binding energy per nucleon versus mass number curve :
(A) B.E/nucleon is small for light nuclei like \( {}_{1}^{1}H, {}_{1}^{2}H, {}_{1}^{3}H \)
(B) B.E/nucleon decreases in heavy nuclei making them less stable stab.
(C) When two light nuclei combine to form heavy nucleus, energy is absorbed.
(D) Heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei which results in liberation of energy.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (C) only
  2. B (A), (B) only
  3. C (C) only
  4. D (A), (B), (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A), (B), (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) & (B) are Correct: The binding energy curve shows that very light and very heavy nuclei have lower binding energy per nucleon, making them less stable than mid-sized elements like Iron. (D) is Correct: In fission, a heavy nucleus splits into more stable, medium-weight…
