The nucleus having highest binding energy per nucleon is

The nucleus having highest binding energy per nucleon is

Options

A ${ }_8^{16} \mathrm{O}$
B ${ }_{26}^{56} \mathrm{Fe}$
C ${ }_{84}^{208} \mathrm{ Pb}$
D $\frac{4}{2} \mathrm{He}$

Correct answer

B. ${ }_{26}^{56} \mathrm{Fe}$

Step-by-step solution

The binding energy per nucleon is practically independent of the atomic number for nuclei of mass number in range

30 < \mathrm{A} < 17^{{}^{\circ}}

. So,

26^{\mathrm{Fe}^{56}}

has maximum binding energy per nucleon.
