Physics Question on Nuclear physics

The binding energy per nucleon is maximum in the case of :

A

92235U_{92}^{235}\text{U}

B

56141Ba_{56}^{141}\text{Ba}

C

2656Fe_{26}^{56}\text{Fe}

D

42He_{4}^{2}\text{He}

Answer

2656Fe_{26}^{56}\text{Fe}

Explanation

Solution

We know that binding energy per nucleon increases with atomic number binding energy for iron is maximum, after that it decreases.
