The binding energy of Helium is:
Correct answer: A. 931.5 MeV
- A. 931.5 MeV
- B. 93.15 MeV
- C. 2.13 MeV
- D. 28.2 MeV
Explanation
A is the right option because The binding energy of Helium, like other heavy nuclei, is in the order of MeV (mega-electron volts). The correct value is approximately 931.5 MeV.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
