Nuclei · Nuclear structure
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : For all elements, greater the mass of the nucleus, greater is the binding energy per nucleon.
Statement II : For all elements, nuclei with less binding energy per nucleon transform to nuclei with greater binding energy per nucleon.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I : For all elements, greater the mass of the nucleus, greater is the binding energy per nucleon.
Statement II : For all elements, nuclei with less binding energy per nucleon transform to nuclei with greater binding energy per nucleon.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (1)Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- (2)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- (3)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- (4)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
