10. Binding energy

Consider the binding energy of \(_{3}Li^{7}\) and \(_{2}He^{4}\) are 39.59 \(MeV\) and 29.06 \(MeV\), respectively. Which one of these two nuclei will be more stable?

 

Answer:

 

Binding energy per nucleon for lithium is  \(MeV\)

 

Binding per nucleon for helium is  \(MeV\)

 

LithiumHelium nuclei will be more stable than heliumlithium.
