In general only the heavier nuclei tend to show alpha decay


In general only the heavier nuclei tend to show alpha decay. For large A it is found that B/A = 9.402 - 7.7 × 10-3 A. Given that the binding energy of alpha particles is 28.3 MeV, show that alpha decay is energetically possible for A > 151.
