The dependence of binding energy per nucleon, BA  on the mass number A, is represented by


A.

The graph showing that greater the binding energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is. The graph has its maximum of 8. MeV/nucleon when the number nucleons is 56. The nucleus that has 56 protons and neutron is  Fe2656, an iron isotope. This is the most stable nucleus of them all, since maximum energy is needed to pull a nucleon away from it.

Assertion:  90Sr from the radioactive fall out from a nuclear bomb ends up in the bones of human beings through the milk consumed by them. It causes impairment of the production of red blood cells.

Reason: The energies β-particles emitted in the decay of 90Sr damage the bone marrow.
