1.	The mass of an atom of ""_(2)He^(4) is 4.0026 amu . The mass of a neutron and a proton are 1.0087 amu and 1.0078 amu respectively. The nuclear binding energy per nucleon is nearly
Answer» 7 MEV 5 MeV 10 MeV 14 MeV Solution :Massdefect `=[2(1.0087+1.0078)-4.0026]` AMU =0.0304 amu Binding ENERGY per nucleon `=(28.32)/(4)` MeV `=7.089` MeV `~= 7` MeV
