Question:

The binding energy curve remains almost stable for nuclei with 30<A<170, which of the following can we best say?

Options:

The binding energy is constant for these nuclei.

The binding energy is low for these nuclei.

The binding energy is high for these nuclei.

The binding energy is independent of mass number for these nuclei.

Correct Answer:

The binding energy is low for these nuclei.

Explanation:

The graph is not stable for these nuclei. The binding energy per nucleon for these nuclei is low.
