MCQ
For the nuclie with mass number $> 100:$
  • Binding energy of the nucleus decreases on an average as A increases.
  • B
    Binding energy of the nucleus increases on an average as A increases.
  • C
    The two nuclei fuse to form a bigger nuclide releasing energy.
  • D
    The nucleus essentially breaks up into two nuclides of equal mass releasing energy.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Binding energy of the nucleus decreases on an average as A increases.

From the above figure it is clearly visible that the binding energy of the nucleus decreases on an average as A increases
