MCQ
What parameter is used to measure the stability of a nucleus?
- AAverage binding energy
- BNo. of protons
- CNo. of neutrons
- DNo. of electrons
✓
Answer
- 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.
