The binding energy per nucleon is maximum in the case

Options

  1. A₉₂²³⁵ U
  2. B₅₆¹⁴¹ Ba
  3. C₂₆⁵⁶ Fe
  4. D₄^2 He

Correct answer

C. ₂₆⁵⁶ Fe

Step-by-step solution

We know that binding energy per nucleon increases with atomic number binding energy for iron is maximum, after that it decreases.
