13.Nuclei
medium
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 on
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
B
$A$ is true but $R$ is false
C
$A$ is false but $R$ is true
D
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution
Binding energy per nucleon is almost same for nuclei of mass number ranging $30$ to $170$.
