Assertion : The binding energy per nucleon, for nuclei with atomic mass number $A > 100$, decreases with $A$.
Reason : The nuclear forces are weak for heavier nuclei.
$STATEMENT-1$: The plot of atomic number ( $\mathrm{y}$-axis) versus number of neutrons ( $\mathrm{x}$-axis) for stable nuclei shows a curvature towards $x$-axis from the line of $45^{\circ}$ slope as the atomic number is increased. and $STATEMENT-2$: Proton-proton electrostatic repulsions begin to overcome attractive forces involving protons and neutrons and neutrons in heavier nuclides.
As compared $^{12}C$ atom, $^{14}C$ atom has
If the nuclear radius of ${}_{13}^{27}Al$ is $3.6$ fermi the approximate nuclear radius of ${}_{}^{64}Cu$ in fermi is ..........$fm$
If the total binding energies of ${ }_1^2 H ,{ }_2^4 He ,{ }_{26}^{56} Fe$ and ${ }_{92}^{235} U$ nucleiare $2.22,28.3,492$ and $1786 MeV$ respectively, identify the most stable nucleus of the following.
