If the total binding energies of

{ }_1^2 \mathrm{H},{ }_2^4 \mathrm{He},{ }_{26}^{56} \mathrm{Fe} \&{ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}

nuclei are

2.22,28.3,492

and

1786 \mathrm{~MeV}

respectively, identify the most stable nucleus of the following.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

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

Option A is correct because the most stable nucleus has the highest binding energy per nucleon, and Fe-56 has the highest value among the given options.
