Question:

The binding energy per nucleon for ${^{56}_{}Fe}$ is

Options:

8.75 MeV

11.26 MeV

9.96 MeV

4.89 MeV

Correct Answer:

8.75 MeV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 8.75 MeV

Total binding energy of $^{56}Fe$ is approximately $492 \, \text{MeV}$.

Binding energy per nucleon = $\frac{492}{56}$

$= 8.79 \, \text{MeV (approx)}$

Answer: $8.8 \, \text{MeV per nucleon (approx)}$
