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