Draw a graph showing the variation of binding energy per nucleon with mass number of different nuclei. State two inferences from this graph.

Answer»

Solution :The graph is shown in the

Two important inferences from this graph are :
(i) Nuclei in mass number range 30 - 170 are highly stable.
(ii) Nuclei of ELEMENTS either having very small (A < 20) or very large (A > 208) value of mass number are unstable because their BINDING ENERGY per nucleon is small.
