Choose the incorrect statements regarding binding energy per nucleon:
1. Binding energy per nucleon is practically constant for nuclei with mass numbers between \(30\) and \(170\).
2. Binding energy per nucleon is maximum for \(_{56}\mathrm{Fe}\) (equal to \(8.75~\text{MeV}\)).
3. Binding energy per nucleon for \(_{6}\mathrm{Li}\) is lower compared to \(_{4}\mathrm{He}\).
4. Higher the binding energy per nucleon, the more unstable is the nucleus.

Fusion reaction takes place at a higher temperature because:

1. atoms get ionized at high temperatures.
2. kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nuclei.
3. molecules break up at a high temperature.
4. nuclei break up at a high temperature.

The binding energies of the nuclei \(A\) and \(B\) are \(E_a\) and \(E_b\) respectively. If three atoms of the element \(B\) fuse to give one atom of element \(A\) and an energy \(Q\) is released, then \(E_a, E_b\) and \(Q\) are related as:
1. \(E_a-3E_b= Q\)
2. \(3E_b-E_a= Q\)
3. \(E_a+ 3E_b=Q\)
4. \(E_b+ 3E_a=Q\)

1. \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- \dfrac{BE}{c^2}\)
2. \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n+ BE\)
3. \(M(A, Z) = ZM_p + (A-Z)M_n- BE\)
