MCQ
What parameter is used to measure the stability of a nucleus?
  • A
    Average binding energy
  • B
    No. of protons
  • C
    No. of neutrons
  • D
    No. of electrons

Answer

  1. Average binding energy

Explanation:

Stability of nucleus is based on average binding energy i.e. binding energy per nucleon. This much energy will be needed for nucleon to break free.
