Arrange the following nuclei in the increasing order of their binding energy per nucleon. ${ }_2^4 He,{ }_3^6 Li,{ }_{26}^{56} Fe,{ }_{92}^{238} U$ |
Li, He, U, Fe He, U, Li, Fe U, Fe, Li, He Fe, U, He, Li |
Li, He, U, Fe |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Li, He, U, Fe Binding energy per nucleon - ${ }_2^4 He≃7.1MeV/nucleon$ ${ }_3^6 Li≃5.3MeV/nucleon$ ${ }_{26}^{56} Fe≃8.8MeV/nucleon$ ${ }_{92}^{238} U≃7.6MeV/nucleon$ |
