The binding energy (BE) per nucleon for an element is \(7.14 \mathrm{MeV}\). If the \(\mathrm{BE}\) of element is \(28.6 \mathrm{MeV}\), then the number of nucleons in the element is

  1. A 4
  2. B 8
  3. C 16
  4. D 32
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, binding energy (BE) per nucleon \(=7.14 \mathrm{MeV}\) \(\mathrm{BE}\) of element \(=28.6 \mathrm{MeV}\) We know that, \(\text { Number of nucleons }=\frac{\text { BE of element }}{\text { BE per nucleon }}=\frac{28.6}{7.14}=4\)
