Question

The binding energy per nucleon for the parent nucleus is E1 and that for the daughter nuclei is E2.Then
  1. E2=2E1
  2. E1>E2
  3. E2>E1
  4. E1=2E2

A
E2>E1
B
E2=2E1
C
E1=2E2
D
E1>E2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

After decay, the daughter nuclei will be more stable hence binding energy per nucleon will be more than that of their parent nucleus.
