Question

The binding energy per nucleon in nuclei is about:

पर्याय

• \[8\ \text{eV}\]

• \[8\ \text{GeV}\]

• \[8\ \text{MeV}\]

• \[8\ \text{keV}\]

Answer 1

The binding energy per nucleon in nuclei is about 8 MeV, which is far larger than the binding energy per nucleon in ordinary atoms. This large magnitude indicates that the force binding nucleons is fundamentally different from ordinary atomic forces.
