Detailed Solution

The  binding  energy per nucleon for the nuclides (from A =20 to A = 56) is maximum. Hence, these are more stable. As the mass number increases, the binding energy per nucleon gradually decreases and Ultimately binding energy per 
nucleon Of heavy nuclides (such as uranium, etc.) is comparatively low. Hence,these nuclides  are relatively fissioned easily.
