The binding energy per nucleon of ${}_3^7Li$ and ${}_2^4He$ nuclei are $5.60\,MeV$ and $7.06\,MeV$ respectively. In the nuclear reaction ${}_3^7Li + {}_1^1H \to 2{}_2^4He + Q$, the value of energy $Q$ released is.........$MeV$.

The binding energy of a nucleon in a nucleus is of the order of a few

The deuteron is bound by nuclear forces just as the $H$-atom is made up of a proton and an electron bound by electrostatic forces. If we consider the force between the neutron and proton in a deuteron as given in the form of a Coulomb potential but with an effective charge $e'$: $F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{e'^2}{r^2}$,estimate the value of $(e'/e)$ given that the binding energy of a deuteron is $2.2 \text{ MeV}$.

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.
