Question 1 of 5 · 5.0 marks

Of the nuclei of mass number

A = 125

, the binding energy calculated from the liquid drop model (given that the coefficients for the Coulomb and the asymmetry energy are

a_{c} = 0.7 M e V

and

a_{sy m} = 22.5 M e V

respectively) is a maximum for

1 $_{54}^{125} X e$
2 $_{53}^{124} I$
3 $_{52}^{125} T e$
4 $_{51}^{125} S b$
