When the number of nucleons in nuclei increase, the binding energy per nucleon

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

First increases and then decreases with increases of mass number

Option D is correct because the binding energy per nucleon initially increases as the mass number increases due to the strong nuclear force becoming more effective, but eventually decreases due to the increasing repulsive forces between protons.
