  1. Question 1

    Q1. The binding energy of ⁴He is 28.3 MeV. What is its binding energy per nucleon?

    • A) 7.08 MeV
    • B) 14.15 MeV
    • C) 28.3 MeV
    • D) 56.6 MeV

    Answer: 7.08 MeV

    Explanation: Binding energy per nucleon = total BE / mass number. 28.3 MeV / 4 = 7.08 MeV. Option B divides by 2 instead of 4.
