3 As one moves along the line of stability from 56Fe to 235 nucleus the nuclear binding energy per nucleon decreases from about 8 8 MeV to 7 6 MeV This trend is mainly due to the 1 Short range nature of nuclear forces 2 Tensor nature of nuclear forces 3 Spin dependence dependence of the nuclear forces 4 Long range nature of coulomb forces
