The nucleus having highest binding energy per nucleon is

Options

  1. A₈¹⁶ O
  2. B₂₆⁵⁶ Fe
  3. C₈₄²⁰⁸ ~Pb
  4. D4 2 He

Correct answer

B. ₂₆⁵⁶ Fe

Step-by-step solution

The binding energy per nucleon is practically independent of the atomic number for nuclei of mass number in range 30 A 17^ . So, 26^ Fe ⁵⁶ has maximum binding energy per nucleon.
