Given below are two statements: one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : The binding energy per nucleon is
practically independent of the atomic number for
nuclei of mass number in the range 30 to 170.
Reason R : Nuclear force is short ranged.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
correct answer from the options given below
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : The binding energy per nucleon is
practically independent of the atomic number for
nuclei of mass number in the range 30 to 170.
Reason R : Nuclear force is short ranged.
In the light of the above statements, choose the
correct answer from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A
explanation of A
Option B (Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because the short-range nature of the nuclear force explains the near-constant binding energy per nucleon.
