Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R [2023]
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:
(4)
Binding energy per nucleon is almost same for nuclei of mass number ranging 30 to 170.
