Q10 of 106 Page 383

Which of the following the wrong description of the binding energy of the nucleus?

The correct answer is (d). All the other options are correct about binding energy per nucleon.

This is because inside the nucleus, the nucleons are in rest. So, there is no question of kinetic energy for those particles at rest.

Two protons are kept at a separation of 10nm.Let Fn and Fe be the nuclear force and electromagnetic force between them.

As the mass number A increases, the binding energy per nucleon in a nucleus

In a radioactive decay, neither the atomic number nor the mass number changes. Which of the following particles is emitted in the decay?

During a negative beta decay,
